“As is a tale, so is life, not how long it is but how good it is, is what matters.” – Seneca

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.

Pottermore surprised me with my house, but after reading that description, I could not help myself but agree. I am proud of where I come from and I am beyond the judgement of others. It is the wise man who lives for himself and does what he feels is truthful and right to himself beyond the judgement or implication of others or what they might think.“Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you’ve a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind.”

Dear United States of America,
take notes.
Sincerely,
Human Rights
I think the person above meant to say
Dear Every Country In the World Except For Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, and Sweden,
because America is far from the only country that does not allow same sex marriage or marriage that is inclusive of marriages not between cisgender men and cisgender women.

“It happens when a father realizes he doesn’t just love his daughter, but also her wife. It happens when a soldier tells his unit that he’s gay, and they tell him they knew it all along and they didn’t care, because he was the toughest guy in the unit. It happens when a video sparks a movement to let every single young person know they’re not alone, and things will get better.
It happens when people look past their ultimately minor differences to see themselves in the hopes and struggles of their fellow human beings. That’s where change is happening.
And that’s not just the story of the gay rights movement. That’s the story of America—the slow, inexorable march towards a more perfect union.”

Red Bison Week
As a new Fraternity member, it is expected of oneself to uphold the ideals of the house, and as previously mentioned, Phi Kappa Tau is a house of gentlemen who respect the character and ideals of any person. Sexuality is one of those characteristics that is an inalienable right. No one has the authority or power to take it from you, belittle it, attack it, or violate it in any way. In regards to that, Red Bison Week arose from the necessity and requirement to educate the student population about sexuality, what it means to be sexually healthy, and the destructive powers of sexual assault.
From April 23, 2012 to April 27, 2012, the Brothers of Phi Kappa Tau Phi Chapter shall stand up to sexual violence, educate prevention, and finally talk about “it.”
