    The book of Leveticus is Old Testament. Old Testament is said to be made invalid by the death of Jesus. Also seems to be unrecognized by most Jewish sects.

      Yeah, it’s like it was cherrypicked to justify being a piece of shit to a group of people they don’t like.

      Yet the 10 commandments are still taught in most Christian orthodoxies, almost like there’s no consistency or reason to be had here because we’re talking about religion.

      Also most of the writings in Leviticus seem to be generally hateful of humanity in general, and if compared with the overall tone and message of the rest of the work, were clearly social commentary written by one outraged dude trying to canonize his misanthropy.

      It’s like reading Tolkien and finding an entire passage dedicated on why Hobbits are subhuman or some much. It doesn’t make any sense, Tolkien wouldn’t put down a species he created.
