2. You have not taken the mosaic law into the context of the laws you are citing
3. You are missing the "When in Israel" Portion in the beginning of the chapter.
Again for theological reasons I disagree with you. However out of respect for the context of the thread I won't get into them.
This is perfect of example of why Christians turn a blind eye to the transgressions of other professed Christians. It's called the no true Scotsman fallacy, and other Christians are just as able to disown you from their religion as you are them. To them, it is you who does not adhere to the bible that they follow. Until you grasp this concept, your notion of writing a book on the wrongs Christians commit without understanding their reasoing, is useless at best.
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
"It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB)
Luke 12:51-52
51 "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division." 52 "For from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three"
Matthew 10:34-35
34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." 35 "For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
I tried to say exactly this from the start, it took this long for someone else to pick up the fumble and carry it to the endzone.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
