The thing about interpretation is that you can make something mean whatever you would like it to mean, there is a great deal of flexibility there.

It says things like "Do not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of thread." in there. Ok so Jesus lets us off from having to follow all these rules and regulations we're meant to follow. Or the Jews were meant to follow three thousand years ago anway. There is slavery in there of course. I don't know why the creator of the universe wouldn't have told his chosen his chosen people that slavery is wrong, and make them distinct in some real tangible sense. Rather than how you aren't to blame if a slave dies after three days of you beating him. It doesn't really get off to a good start and the New Testament doesn't do much to improve on it.

To some extent the morals we have are the product of the culture we live in. I would like to think I wouldn't be a fullblown anti-semitic Nazi if I lived in 1930s Germany but then a 1930s German is not different to myself in any fundamental way at all so there's no good reason why I wouldn't have been.
