Those Old Testament laws are superseded in Christianity by Jesus' New Covenant.
So everyone who is attacking you is right -- you're taking laws that were specifically given to Moses and the Jews during their pilgrimage through the desert 2000 years ago and pretending like they have anything to do with modern Christian beliefs.
Meh, the ironic thing is that most Christians - in my experience anyhow - nitpick parts of the Old Testament and assume it is law, e.g. the passages prohibiting homosexuality.
Though ironically ignoring the other passages that prohibit, for example, eating pork.
Not that I don't agree with you, Admiral - but it's funny how most Christians I've seen use the Bible incorrectly and then incompletely. >_>
