How about finding me a quote from the bible that said the life and death of jesus invalidated all previous biblical law.

The New Testament is littered with examples of how Jesus "changed rules". But, if you've read/studied the Bible a few times then you know all of this. Basically, it was His death that paid the price for the previous death penalties, laws, etc. But, if you need one example, look at Matthew 9:14-17.

Are you claiming that all of GOD's demands became null and void when the calendar toggled from BC to AD?

No. I'm saying that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament.

The ten commandments and the condemnation of homosexuality still appear to be taken seriously by a lot of fair weather christ cultists despite your claim that the OT is invalid nowadays.

Wait, I thought we were talking about killing the "infidels and gays". The validity of the 10 commandments is a COMPLETELY different topic.

I am quite familiar with christianity and have read the bible a few times but this 'jesus changes everything' argument is just a well accepted cop out used by some religious folk that wan't to ignore the large chunk of the bible that they disagree with.

Cop out? Come on. I could say the same about those who pick verses out of context to try and show Christians want to kill "infidels and gays". It's just not the case.
Look, I doubt anyone cares about my religious beliefs, so I'll stop now. The reason I decided to address this is because I couldn't sit by and let some
insane comment about Christians wanting to kill people go unanswered. I doubt I've answered appropriately, but it's the best I can do, considering the complex topic and the forum.
