Ex. 22:20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed. (People used to sacrafice animals to please God, and it better be the right God or else. Believers don't have to do this anymore, I guess God's laws aren't written in stone.)
WOW! This just proves you do not have any clue what the Bible is about. It's called a new covenant. We don't sacrifice animals anymore because we are in a new covenant with Christ. That is why Jesus came to die for us. He was the ultimate sacrifice and now we only need to believe in Him to go to Heaven, we don't have to sacrifice animals anymore.
The verses I quoted are very staightforward, show me how they are out of context with all the other killing and debauchery in the Bible. And I already know why you don't have to sacrafice animals anymore or follow strict dietary laws or do any other of the other things that Jesus said you didn't have to do. I find it funny that God didn't get it right the first time and had to send his son to tidy things up a bit, that's all.

I switched your words around to show how a muslim would state this. Not that I am defending islam, I think it's nuttier that christianity.
