One small issue with your post. The Christians may have things like you posted above in their past but they are not insisting on a return to law that adheres to this behaviour.
The Moslems are in many cases pushing for a return to sharia law, if not living it already.
How about the 12 year old kid shown on EVERY news network this past weekend killing, then cutting the head off of a "supposed US spy" in Pakistan?
How about the 16 year old girl in Iran who was hanged recently after being raped? Her rapist, a 50 year old man received 100 lashes.
Then we have the workers you see on every street and market in Saudi with their right hand having been cut off for stealing.
Please give us one, ONE example of someone killed in recent history for disobeying the Ten Commandments? One limit, no one who was killed for adultery.
Waiting....
Joe
PS I do not work on Sunday. There are a few of us like that.

Sorry Joe, but your second sentence, “The Christians may have things like you posted above in their past but they are not insisting on a return to law that adheres to this behaviour” is why we are having this discussion. Tabs opened this thread with a statement saying exactly that. We need to return to god’s laws. There are others like him, those who take the entire bible literally. They want to outlaw homosexuality based on what it says in Levitcus, but they don’t want to kill disobedient teenagers, which is what Deuteronomy says. How can you pick and choose the law you want and not the other?
I understand you, and many others, don’t want this. But tabs, and his kind, do.
As for Sharia law, lets see what the bible says about those who don’t believe in god. Remember the first commandment, “Thou shall have no other gods before me.” What does the bible say about those who don’t believe in your god, or your god’s laws? It says you must kill them.

Deut 17 2-5
2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.
Deut 13:12-16
If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in, that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. Gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt.
Lev 24:15
anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

That sounds like Sharia law to me, and that is what tabs wants.
I know you don’t think we should kill people who don’t believe in your particular god, but there are plenty of people, including tabs, who want to go back to these laws, that do want to kill them. Seahawk is one. He agreed with tabs, back on page one of this thread.
Not only that, they want this ridiculous book, with these ridiculous laws, quoted in public, read to children, used in the court of law, etc, etc. Personally, I find that repulsive.
