do u believe in the teachings of the old testament? specifically:
that if u had a daughter u would sell her into slavery? (exodus 21:7)
killing anyone who works on the sabbath (exodus 35:2)
that trimming of hair should be forbidden (esp. round the temple area) (Lev 19:27)
that sum1 who plants two crops in the same field should be stoned to death? (lev 20:14)

Im pretty sure this is because God had a covenant with the people at this time and would not tolerate any sin or something. But it's absurd to believe in a God who told you to stone your child if he sins in your house.
