Theology Wars: The Eli Strikes Back

Last time I was going all holier than though on Leviticus. You know what? Leviticus is old law. You know what that means, right? We don't listen to it anymore. It means that it does not matter, that we do not follow it's teachings, that we don't care what happens in it, that it is moot, that it is total bull... Not that we didn't already know that.

Could anyone tell me the new laws? I really am curious as to what they are, because then I could bash them. Help would be appreciated.

Now then, off to ridicule? Splendid! Well, howabout those ten commandments? Good rules, right? Thou Shalt Not Kill is my favorite. It's so easy to understand, so very basic, so very "Hey, you shouldn't do that. Knock that shit off."

Then why does God do it?

Not to mention, why are there so many things that say to do it?

The actual quote is (Exodus 12:23 I think) "Thou Shalt Not Kill" which is (through literal translation -lo tirtzack[Lo meaning "Thou Shalt Not" and tirtzack meaning "Kill Anything"]-) "You will not kill anything to speak of" which is silly, because they ate meat. An interesting note is how in the garden of Eden everyone and everything was herbivorous, but after the fall man and animal began to eat meat.

Wait...why are animals punished? Not to mention, we have found thousands of carnivorous or omnivorous animal fossils far prior to human fossils. That doesn't make sense, does it? I should note that Christians who think that Satan put fossils there are stupid.
