Oh yes. Yes, please, yes. Give me all of this.

Leviticus 20:13:
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Nice try, Colbert.
Leviticus was written approximately 1400 years before Jesus’ birth.
Nice try, artemispotter.
Old Testament =/= New Testament. Seriously. Also, Leviticus also commands you to learn the Torah, which, if you’re getting Old and New confused, you clearly haven’t.
Not to mention the other ridiculous laws in Leviticus (and Deuteronomy, as well), including the following:
- No mixing of different types of fabric
- No having sex with a woman on her period
- Curse your mother or father? You must be killed
- Disabled people cannot worship God
- Stubborn children should be stoned.
So…. still want to argue how valid the OT is?
Also, in the Bible!=Jesus said it, anyway. Even in the NT, there are a lot of people who aren’t Jesus giving their opinions.
Truth.
Only if the words are in red (in many translations) does it mean that Jesus said it.
FWIW, the apostle Paul and I would not have been friends. Mortal enemies is more like it.
Hey, guys, remember that one time when Jesus declared Levitican law irrelevant?
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
-Hebrews 7:18-19.
Having been Jewish for, you know, ever, I am endlessly amused at the Christian Right’s reliance on Leviticus. Even I, who didn’t understand the theological difference between Catholics and Protestants until I took a course on Christianity in college, knew that Jesus was totes anti-Leviticus.
Seriously, people…
^^^^^^^
Ugh thank you. Fellow Christian here. I’ve literally NEVER understood this logic. “hey guys let’s pick one arbitrary part of leviticus to harp on and ignore the fact that 99% of the new testament explicitly tells us the old covenants/laws no longer hold true”
I love it when self-professed “Christians” don’t know the ABSOLUTELY MOST SIMPLE basics of the difference between the Old and New Testament. If you are against gay marriage because of Leviticus, you should also keep kosher and be against tattoos. Otherwise you’re just another FLAMING HYPOCRITE.

Stupid niggas that don’t read the bible or actually know what it means:

Behold. Logic.

Ogg Vorbis: The Best Lossy Audio Format
Back around 2003 when I was making my awkward way into adolescence, I picked up an obsession with audio formats. For years, I searched for the best way to store and listen to music. Before I bought my first iPod, I went through a few crappy MP3 players, eventually settling on the Cowon iAUDIO X5, which was pretty awesome, thinking back to it. Like the nerd I am, I flashed the Rockbox firmware. This gave me some groundbreaking features like gapless playback, ReplayGain, and support for a bunch of formats like Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and even WavPack, which was set to revolutionize the way music was stored. WavPack could create a lossy file that was roughly the size of an MP3, along with a difference file that contained all the data that would have been thrown away during the encoding. Together, the two files could construct a mathematically perfect copy of the original WAV. But nobody was likely to support that, and it was kind of cumbersome.
While my music library was still small enough, I started filling up my iAUDIO X5 with FLAC files. The machine would get overloaded and heat up a bit, meaning I couldn’t play games at full speed. The battery life was shortened. But dammit, I had some crispy clean sounds. I got some Sennheiser HD457 headphones, and I was in sonic heaven.

SwipeSelection for iPad →
This is one of the many times I wish I had an iPad, and one of the very few times I wish I had a jailbroken one. SwipeSelection lets you swipe across the keyboard to move the cursor where you’re typing. If you start swiping from a shift key, it selects text. If you use two fingers, it move the cursor faster. It’s stuff like this that really shows the power of touchscreens. This is just about as good as when Apple implemented multitasking gestures, such as swiping four fingers left and right to switch between apps quickly, or up to expose the multitasking bar. After seeing this in action, it seems like a no-brainer that Apple would implement this, too.

Coach Packet, by Front Rush
I’m excited to talk about a cool new thing I worked on at Front Rush called Coach Packet. I’m just getting around to blogging about it now, although we officially released it on Tuesday. I coded the entire front page. Play around with it. It’s got some cool stuff, like an HTML5 video, lightboxes, an image slider, and expanding heads.
What’s Coach Packet?
Usually, sports recruiting events will provide packets to coaches containing information about every recruit at the event. Usually, these packets are large, heavy binders. Usually, these packets cost a lot of money to produce, just from the manufacturing alone. Coach Packet lets event coordinators publish these packets electronically, so that coaches can get to them from a mobile device such as an iPhone, iPad, Android, or Blackberry. These packets are instantly searchable, less costly to produce, and they integrate well with Front Rush’s management capabilities. If an event coordinator comes across new information on players, or if a new player gets added at the last minute, those changes can be instantly seen on Coach Packet.
If you know any coaches or event coordinators, get them to head on over.
