Totally agree.
The biggest objection I have is that it is a set of rules that (supposedly) doesn't change. That means the society cannot develop. It's stuck in one particular mindset forever.
If some of those ideas are bad, which they obviously are to anyone not indoctrinated into the cult, then you're stuck with those forever. If religious people want to impose arbitrary restrictions on themselves, that's up to them. But trying to govern a country that way and forcing everyone else to adhere to it is disgusting.
If God gave us free will, then let us fucking well use it and come up with sensible rules as a people. If he wanted mindless automatons, he should have made them.
