I don't think that we're dealing with rare exceptions. We could rattle off thousands of these exceptions between us - and there would still be more. You offered an incomplete ethical assessment.
"Following the rules of scripture" a whole hell of alot would be forbidden - but that's no indication that their taboo status is warranted by some ethical provision. Abortion, though...fine by scripture. Suspicious of your wife? Put her through the ordeal of the bitter waters. She has no choice in the matter. As far as problems with scriptural morals.....history and the present moment is a running account.
You've confused magic book and it's necessarily subjective morality for moral realism.
