Do you like the Old Testament laws? The words of Jesus, as told by Matthew 5:
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
The fact that Christians try to pretend that Jesus did not mean what he says is irrelevant to what we have as the truth according to their sacred scripture. We could also discuss his insane temper tantrum over a fig tree that did not bear figs out of season, or, in other words, that did not bear fruit when God made them not bear fruit. There is more, but this should be enough to reject Jesus as a good example. He was, as depicted in the New Testament, a sick motherfucker.
