What if you knew with out doubt, that God was real and full filled the promises He made in the bible after you did what He asked? Would you worship Him? even if your friends thought badly of you?

If it is part of the bible you revere, then it is part of your religion. Stop cherry-picking.
Uh, no.
Animal sacrifices are apart of said bible, but are not apart of my 'religion.' So too, are all of the other OT practices.
(heck animal sacrifices are not even apart of modern Judaism.)

Then why did you dickheads attach it to your fucking bible? Is there a disclaimer on the front that says "For historical interest only. Pay it no mind?"
How can you lie like that and still think you are a xtian? Oh, right. the prohibition against lying is in the OT.
Romans 6 explains the reason for the 'law' and why it was given. (read the whole chapter it will take 5 mins.)

7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch out that you do not lose what we[a] have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. 11 Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
MORE COMPASSION AND FORGIVENESS I SEE.
no idea what you are trying to say.

The problem is that it's still the same god. We know you have justified to yourself why you don't have to follow these rules, but the fact remains that you still worship a god that thought these rules were a good idea.
'rules' (how ever foolish) are created for one purpose. To alter the behavior of a given people.
If there was a 'rule' it is because there was also a habitual problem with people doing whatever 'stupid' thing you want to make fun of now.
God did not create these rules just because. He created them because at that time in that culture the rules He passed down stemmed off a societal problem.

Pet peeve: when people say Christianity like it's a single unified theology. Take to a 7th day Adventist and you'll find they take the old testament quite seriously. Different Christian groups put different stock in the Old Testament but as far as I know all of them but the very most liberal Christians believe that it is inspired by God to a certain extent.
Pet peeve: being labled a 'liberal Christian' simply because I am not a legalistic one. If you have read the NT you will see a separation from the OT. If you are a biblical believing Christian you also have to acknoweledge and honor this separation in your faith. while all the while still acknoweledgeing the OT as we are instructed.
I don't make up the rules, but I do follow them.
