I didn't come across stuff like this in sunday school. They focused more of the friendly stuff. If ever I started becoming an embarrassment to atheists, I'd rather hear it from an atheist. Do you have anything substantial to add?
You've been given much testimony on the subject. What church did you attend and why did you not ask these questions when you were going to church.

The OT and NT work together, but when Christians don't like certain passages in the OT, it is interesting the various excuses that are made to dismiss it.
The OT was a foreshadowing of Jesus' coming. To pretend it has no relevance to a modern day Christian indicates you are a Christian who cherry picks your faith. And if that is the case, maybe you should explore why. You may not be the believer you think you are, and maybe that is worth exploring.
You are correct about the OT being a foretelling of Christ, many of the people in the OT were examples of Christ. Many of the laws in the OT were for everyone, but not all, some were meant fore the Israelites alone.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
