It doesn't
That's what I thought. Yet I constantly hear Christians talking about how "Mosaic Law" no longer applies. Seems to me they simply want to rationalize away half of their own book because even they realize how idiotic and barbaric it is.
Quote:Matthew 5:17-20
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Great stuff. This doesn't jive at all with their contention that Old Testament laws no longer apply. I'll have to keep this verse handy.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
