Stoning a woman to death for adultery, giving her magic water (sotah) that will cause her stomach to explode if she is expected of adultery and it turns out true, or, during a war, if I see a really cute woman I can kill her family and take her home to be my own, or if a pretty virgin doesn't want to marry me, I can rape her, pay 50 silver shekels (which is about $12 US these days, but we can add inflation), and she is all mine!
God approves of a lot of things that I find disgusting.
So I think I'll pass.
