The world of me... |
Hello. I am Madison. I was born 20 years ago. I love Doctor Who so much. I also love Harry Potter, Apple products and good music. |
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.

Pick 5 TV shows you like before reading the questions:
1. Who is your favorite character in 2? Desmond!
2. Who is your least favorite character in 1? Katara
3. What is your favorite episode of number 4? I don’t remember one specifically, but I didn’t really enjoy a couple of the Unicorn and the Wasp…
4. What is your favorite season of number 5? One all the way
5. What is your favorite relationship in 3? Christina and Mer’s person relationship
6. Who is your anti-relationship in 2? Anti-relationship? I guess it was Jack and Kate? I never really liked them together
7. How long have you watched 1? Just started! Maybe a month?
8. How did you become interested in 3? My great roommate Samantha
9. Who is your favorite actor in number 4? I love them all but Matt Smith is great.
10. Which show do you prefer more: 1, 2, or 5? UGH! So hard, but I would have to say A:TLA.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of: 1 or 3? I have seen all the episodes of each… but there are more GA than A:TLA
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Sexy the Tardis! haha does that count? I say it does. I would want to be with the doctor, but still keep my memory and be in the same dimension and stuff. :D
13. How would you kill off your least favorite character in 5? Quinn going psycho and killing Finchel.
14. Would a 3/4 crossover work? I doubt it…
15. Pair two characters in 2 that would make an unlikely, but strangely OK couple: If they both were gay, I could maybe see Daniel and Desmond together…
16. Overall, which show has the better cast: 3 or 5?
Greys… totally
17. Which has a better theme song: 2 or 4? Doctor who!!! WOOOOOOEEEEEEEOOOOOOO!
I don’t know why, but this was the first thing that came to my mind during this scene.

| Best friend: | "I'm gonna start religiously watching Avatar because they have the seasons on Netflix." |
| Me: | "OMG. Let me tell you about Avatar. |
| Season 1 - All the lols. Those kid-friendly family jokes that make the show cute. BUT WAIT! Then they start meeting Haru and Jet and Suki and shit starts getting more interesting...because you've just established random side characters that are going to tamper with your feels but then kind of leave. And then Prince Zuko's character ramifies a bit more, and shit starts getting real. And then the finale of season 1 happens, and you're in so much awe that a kid's show was that fucking awesome. | |
| Season 2 - All the feels. So we've now officially hit the Earth Kindgdom and we meet Toph, a blind twelve year old earthbender who is a fucking bad ass. BUT WAIT! Zuko's been getting some insane character development and you just want to die every time he's on screen because of those Zuko feels. BUT WAAAIIITTT! We bring back Suki and Jet, just when you've forgotten about them. And Jet and Zuko form a bromance. And it's just wonderful. And then, people start dying unexpectedly. And Appa. HOLY FUCK! APPA! And Zuko starts having flashbacks of his miserable childhood. And he loses a ton of weight and has life changing character development. And the season finale just fucking KILLS YOU with feels because it's all about Zuko and the crossroads of his fucking destiny. AND THAT'S WHEN YOU START SHIPPING ZUTARA!!!!!!! | |
| Season 3 - All the angst. Every character is just so full of angst. And there is so much action. And so many feels. And Zuko. And Zuko. And Zuko. And Aang is growing up, becoming a real Avatar. And Haru and Suki come back. And Katara/Sokka father feels. And Katara feels. All those Katara feels. And you ask yourself if you're still watching a kid's show because the character development is just so intense and you're laughing just as much as you're sobbing, and the last episode is just flawless. And you're learning life lessons. And you have so many feels. And you ship Zuko and Katara so fucking hard. And you feel empty when it's all over. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's what Avatar The Last Airbender is." | |
| Best friend: | ... |
| Me: | "Oh. And somewhere between season 1 and 3, Zuko cuts off his ponytail and he becomes a sex god. |
| Also, honor." |

| Teacher: | A long time ago people thought there were only four elements. Can anyone guess what they were? |
| Me: | Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. |
| Teacher: | |
| Me: | |
| teacher: | what? |
| Me: | what? |
