Leviticus 20:9
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.
20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
Don't forget that Christ is the New Covenant and He posed a new Law. He also pt into practice His Law.
There`s a story in the New Testament when a man asks Jesus what he can do to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus tells him that he should sell everything he has and give the money to the poor.
Strange how you never see millionaires like Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell ever mention that story, yet they always have lots of Bible quotes to supposedly support their vendetta against feminism or homosexuality. The Religious Reich only want to follow the Bible when they feel like it.

you of couse have to right to belive as you choose. BTW be thankfull you live in a country that affords you that right.
There's some nasty stuff in the bible to be sure.
Multiply the nasty stuff by 1000, subtract Jesus' message of peace, love and tolerance and you have the Qur'an.

I''ve known people both Christian and Moslem who fully believed that I will spend forever in hell undergoing brutal torture for what is basiclly a theological difference. Add to this, they thought that this was an action of a kind loving and good entity. I guess I should of taken out the shovel and beat them to death because they disagreed with me. 
I actually got along with them otherwise as I am rather tolerate in some ways.
Sad thing is, it is those types of fanatics who actually have the more correct take on their religion. All these moderates just close their eyes to what they don't like, much like the gal who goes out with an abusive guy because aside from the beatings, he really is pretty nice.
Then you get these Wicca types who have to brains [sometimes] to leave their original religion but don't have the balls, or more often thatchers to live without a religion.
What I find really intersting is how all these philisophy types go on about challenging assumptions and thinking for yourself, yet so may of the greats waste so much time defending the indefensible and use their otherwise great brainpower to hold on to their silly beliefs. I find your typical professional philisopher or serious student thereof leads a life little more examined then all the rest of the sheeple.
Wow my Inner Moe the barkeep really came out in that post.

You see I never actually read all these old testaments ,new testaments ,however i did read parts of all and I wonder how many others have actually read and obey the bible that call themselves Christians .....and yes some of the older versions may have been adopted from the Qur'an .

The official Catholic church position is that the religion is based in both tradition and in the bible. If you read the bible and think about it for a few minutes, then it must be this way, for almost every religion.
The essential problem is this: the bible is a self-contradictory amalgamation of a variety of historical texts. Some of the books, like Genesis, are made up of the oral traditions of two different tribes. That is why you get stuff like God made the world in 7 days, and then get the Adam and Eve story. You can't reconcile the two stories. The Adam and Eve story even has really obvious problems (just keep reading it.)
Essentially, one Pope came along and made the decision to include both stories, from both oral traditions, into the bible. The bible is just a selection of historical texts, primarily based on historical decisions by various Popes.
If you start talking to the true bible scholars, there is much debate about certain sections of the bible, and revisions are on-going. The CBC just did a story on how the King James Bible translated a certain biblical name correctly, while the original Lutherin Bible did not. Discussions like this happen all the time.
You won't find truth in the Bible, only faith and belief. Personally, I think of this as a test: If we could prove God existed, there wouldn't be any need for faith.
