Oh riiiiiiiiiiiight the New Testament. Yeah that Old Testament stuff was just for the Israelites back then, we don't need it anymore, right?

Whoops, give that New Testament another read-through, buddy. Again, I don't think you know what you actually believe.

Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."

Luke 16:17 "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid."

John 7:19 "Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law."

The New Testament is not any more or less valid than the Old Testament, they are both considered to be the words of an all-knowing, all-powerful being. Either you believe the bible is the infallible word of god or you do not. If you do not, then you cannot use it to justify your beliefs, as it's just as likely that one part of the law is now invalid as any other. For you to say "oh, that was because it was unclean," is you using your own judgement to explain god's will. And that's a big no-no in Christianity.

If the Bible is the word of god, and god is both omnipotent and infallible, then why would he include passages about instructions of keeping clean and disease free, when he knew that eventually much of that would later be rendered obsolete? Why hasn't he issued an addendum or something to clarify these parts of the bible that everybody gets hung up on?

If homosexuality was more about keeping people disease free, then why does it matter today when, as you say, we have modern medicine? What specifically about homosexuality leads to more disease than other types of sexual behavior?

Regardless, not all of Leviticus can be dismissed as instructions for keeping cleanly. How about 20:9 "Anyone who dishonors father or mother must be put to death. Such a person is guilty of a capital offense." Or 25:44 "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves."

Let's jump around to other books. Hope you don't like overtime pay: "You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death." Exodus 35:2 .

Do you support capital punishment for adulterers? You should: "If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’ … and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones." Deuteronomy 22:13-14.

And hey it's not just the Old Testament. The New Testament doesn't like women all that much either. "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent." Timothy 2:11-2:12. Man, you must be a real drag at parties, telling all the women to be quiet.

A bit more about your post... I really did not set out to use "complex" sentences. This is English, it's not "arrogant" to use words as they are intended to be used. Your anti-intellectualism is showing. Anyways, I'll try to keep it to small words for you I guess. I'll stop using "irrational" and go with "idiots" like you seem to prefer instead.

And to answer your final question, yes, I do think I know more about the bible than many Christians do, and certainly more than you do. See, I actually read it when I was struggling with my faith, and it was the nail in the coffin that solidified the entire religion was a collection of myths, fables and superstition for an outdated time. I arrived at much the same conclusion you did about those Leviticus passages, that they were written by someone trying to keep a population under control. I saw the puppet strings, you might say. The difference between you and I is I'm not still on stage.

Your "be carefuls" and "keep going with that" are not scaring anyone. I stopped living in fear of mythical beings a long time ago. And I'm certainly not scared of an "idiot" spouting nonsense about some ancient text.

Here's a napkin, you missed some egg.
