Mhmm, yes. Perfect.
Somebody do these with me. We don’t even have to date, we just have to have fun doing silly stuff together. Any takers?
oh wow, #12 sounds so great
completely impractical and probably really cold, but great
(also, this is the uk, so probably just bringing a regular umbrella is a better idea)
Gosh, some of these just need to be done in general, as a general group. Like 4, 7, 12, 15,16
And maybe 9, 5 (though that could backfire), 14, 17
(snipped)
This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

MY GOSH I NEED THESE
Taking place in England the owners of the yard slowly kept adding sections to the contraption so when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they’d add another section. It took over 2 weeks to get to the final product you see in the video.
OMG….
the most beautiful thing ive ever seen
Woah…
OH MY.
YES.
YES.
YES.
Since the quote seemed so outlandish and stupid, I had to google for the source. It’s fucking legit. Hahaha oh my god, it’s so legit.
wait he LITERALLY said that? jesus fucking christ.
I stick with the theory that Rickman is a closet homosexual.
Jussayin’.
Oh god look at him.
He is totally gay himself.
Why is this person even on the internet.
The internet is a nice place.
I’m legitimately crying, like, I’m not just saying that because this is Tumblr. I am crying over how absolutely insane and hysterical this man’s existence is.
Holy shit. What a fucking lunatic.
Obviously he’s never seen a lesbian porn. Shit’s the best.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHA. HAHA. DUDE, PEOPLE WERE GAY BEFORE WE EVEN HAD ELECTRICITY.
You can’t stop it. I would like to tell you to die, but that would be mean. You’re entitled to your own opinion, Rick, but please keep it to yourself.
Side note: perhaps on facebook you would have some people supporting or defending him. Not on tumblr. (People on facebook tend to fit more with ‘normal’ stereotypes, like saying omg dis guy is hot. On tumblr, there’s more ‘this character is hot. This character is cute. WHAT IF THEY WENT OUT?!?!’ for male and female characters alike. (side-side note: I love this side of tumblr))
I think I make it pretty clear in my video today that I don’t understand why we’re even talking about this. I don’t understand the arguments of people who oppose gay marriage, and I’m usually pretty good at understanding people’s viewpoints.
The arguments are so silly and uninteresting that it’s hard to argue that there isn’t a deeper place where all of this is coming from. I think, in my quest, I’ve found some understanding that allows me a little bit of peace.
The world is complicated, and we like to think that we have tools with which to understand it. But it’s difficult to imagine understanding a world with no foundations. To a lot of people, I think, gender and sexual orientation are a big pillar of support for their understanding of the world.
I have mine, science, belief in the fundamental goodness of people, love of family, etc.
Other people have God and tradition and loyalty.
And so when I say something like “All people who love each other should be allowed to get married.” People who use God and tradition and gender roles as fundamental supports for their understanding of the world feel as if those supports are being attacked.
When people attack my fundamental supports, I also get angry. Like when people stop teaching science in schools because they see it as an attack on Christianity…that pisses me off. A lot.
So I can understand that. But being American isn’t about protecting your pilars of belief, it’s about supporting equality and freedom.
We are not asking straight people to get married to gay people. We’re not even asking them to hang out with gay people, or agree that homosexuality is OK. They’re perfectly welcome to believe whatever they want, as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of other Americans.
Legalizing gay marriage does not infringe upon anyone’s rights, making it illegal does. It’s that simple.
This is my viewpoint. I don’t care if you don’t like it, and maybe some people class it as sinning - but it’s still people’s own choice if they sin. I can accept that maybe churches don’t want to do it - after all, that is forcing them to get involved with something that they disagree with, and that’s a bad thing. But in terms of using the term ‘marriage’ and allowing the ceremony and legal stuff to happen the same way as it does for straight couples, there should be no opposition.
There are days when I wish the vlogbrothers weren’t as popular as they are. I made the mistake of reading the comments and oh christ… heterosexism, cissexism and good ol’ fashioned sexism (apparantly, gender equality exists in the devloped world. who knew?!). I mean there are positive comments but the fact that there ARE these comments at all in a community which prides itself on its open-mindedness and its intelligence is immensely troubling. You can’t kill them though because that makes you the bad guy… somehow.
Whenever I see someone who obvoiusly has a closed point of view or uses only personal reasons, I try to calmly explain to them why they are wrong (like telling a guy who thought that adult/child relationships and gay marriages are both illegal because they are “disgusting” that, actually, the law was only protecting the child, not your eyes, and protecting nothing but prejudice in the second case). It feels like those who watch vlogbrothers videos are less trolly and more… misguided - and they can hardly be blamed for that, but maybe we could help them? (They do tend to try to put their posts together well to get their points across, and I guess I could see how the video might not have changed their minds… so I try to do that. Maybe.)
