And christians are all that different?

Those who claim to read the Bible as the literal word of God must be asked if they support enforcing all the laws of the Old Testament. Leviticus 20:13 commands that male homosexuals be put to death. Deuteronomy 22 orders death by stoning for a man and woman who commit adultery. Leviticus 15:16-24 makes those who touch semen and menstrual blood ritually unclean. Moreover, prostitution is not condemned but taken for granted in Genesis 38:12-19 and Joshua 2:1-7. And polygamy and concubinage (an unmarried woman living with a man) are regularly practiced in the Old Testament. Therefore, a Christian who advocates a literal reading of scripture should: support capital punishment for male homosexual acts and also for adultery, require Old Testament purification rituals for those who touch semen or menstrual blood, and sanction prostitution, polygamy and concubines.
