Weighing in on Old testament ways

I read a comical reply to an over-zealous radio host. The chat show nitwit stupidly quoted the Old testament as the yardstick by which to judge and condemn homosexuality. The riposte entitled Why Can't I own a Canadian? is a worthwhile read for all those who need some worldly wise perspective on life.
The respondent to the bible basher, Jim, must have googled for ages, but came up with all sorts of dodgy bible-related rules of behavior that put the DJ goon's original idea right back in its place amongst the most archaic, out of context, stupid categories of our time. From selling his daughter into slavery, as per Exodus, to slaughtering a bull as stated in Levi, he proved beyond all reasonable doubt that there is almost no place for old testament style thinking in most 21st century situations.
Off the top of my bible bashed head, perhaps I would agree that taking tablets is a good idea when up a high mountain, but only if you anticipate being over 10000 feet where altitude sickness kicks in. Tablets for writing down important ideas on, that sounds a bit impractical in the era of iPhones and ball-point pen and paper. And if I were the almighty, I would be very careful where I pulled a burning bush illusion at this time of year. Lake Tahoe wouldn't be a cool location, for starters, unless you wanted to risk an old testament / modern day Iran style stoning from touchy recently displaced residents.
If you have any more irreligious irrelevancies to bring to the table, you are welcome to pin them to the door on your way through.
