I only ask because most christians don't live according to scripture, otherwise they would be going round raping, stoning and enslaving each other.....actually maybe they do....:lol:

Ok let's just take one example - Homosexuality
Homosexuality in the words of St Paul "In the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and in their own persons the due penalty for their error"
Leviticus - "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination".
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination, they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them"
I'd say that was pretty unequivocal, if you want a passage for any of the other examples i cited please do just ask.
But that's my point my dear Letters, Modern Christians cherry pick what part of scripture suits them. I would argue that the New Testament is just as grotesque in different ways as the Old, but let's not pretend that you can take the New Testament independent of the Old....it's all the Bible.
