That is so far removed from what I actually said it might as well be in another universe—not to mention how utterly incoherent your statement is ("The Bible is unbiblical"). Although I suspect that you could probably prove otherwise, I sincerely hope that you could not craft a more incomprehensible response if you tried. What I said is that young-earth creationism is unbiblical (and illogical and unscientific, a perfect strike out).

Anyone who is familiar with this distinguished scholar on the history of science—Hilldale & William Coleman Professor of the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and recipient of the 2008 George Sarton Medal (for a lifetime of exceptional scholarly achievement in the field) by the History of Science Society—just laughed themselves into an asthma attack over the unmitigated hilarity of your ignorant response. As I did too. Thank you for making my night, Aleialoura.
Professor Numbers... an Intelligent Design proponent... bahahaha!

My unsolicited advice to you would be to take a course in critical thinking. You said you were indicating hypocrisy. I asked what hypocrisy, exactly. So you reply, "They're hypocrites!" Um, thanks for reasserting your claim and completely failing to answer my question. Furthermore, putting your ignorance of the sixth commandment on public display like this does nothing to substantiate your claim of hypocrisy. You do know what the word means, right?
I will grant that you are a happy, unapologetic atheist. Not to put too fine a point on it, but so what?

Lolwut? I am not telling you anything. I am asking something of you—that is, to substantiate your claim. Or retract it, if you prefer. You said that the reason why Christians "selectively disregard Deuteronomy and Leviticus is because it's no longer a part of our culture." Please cite the evidence which shows that this is their reason for disregarding old covenant laws, rituals, and practices (e.g., books or articles where Christians say this), so myself and others can verify your claim.
