I have a thousand things. A good number of the Levitical laws are pretty silly in this day and age. I'd say 10 out 613 are useful. As far as the New Testament is concerned I disagree with some of Paul's contributions. Like 1st Corinthians, chapter 6. Okay. I understand that there may be a problem with gay people, and that's common with moral codes throughout the world, although I don't see why there is a problem if they are not hurting anyone, but Paul goes an extra step and sends sissies to hell. You don't have to be a homosexual, he cuts you off if you're a little 'girlish' in your mannerisms. I've known a few sissies that weren't gay.
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
I mean, he left out the murderers, bullies, and generally cruel people in this one......
*Scholars will try to say 'effeminate' means 'male prostitute', Then why the hell doesn't it 'say' "male prostitute"?
