Well... The Bible does say:
2 Chronicles 15:13"That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."
Yes it's the old testament... But, the laws in the old testament are still binding.
Luke 16:17
“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.â€Â
The Bible is full of immoral stuff...
For example:
Deuteronomy 22:28
"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."
Basically God in the Bible enables the marriage of a rape victim onto their attacker. - And there are hundreds of similar morally corrupt examples all throughout the texts. (But also some positive stuff as well, just can't ignore the negative.)
And this is the foundation of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions, it's morally corrupt and evil in my eyes.
Thankfully most Christian denominations pick and choose what parts of the Bible to preach and tend to ignore the negative commands the Bible puts forward... But it does rear it's ugly head in social issues like LGBTQI and womens rights. (I.E. Abortion, same sex marriage etc'.)
...And of course is often used as a justification for war and violence. See: Lord Kony and the Lords Republic Army which would recruit children and make them soldiers in order to try and turn Uganada into a Theocratic nation based on the 10 commandments in the Bible.
I am of the belief that there needs to be freedom of religion, but that also has the implied right of freedom FROM religion, religion is a personal choice and shouldn't influence, interfere or overrule politics or civil rights like Same-Sex Marriage, Abortion, Science and Technology and more.

Bible commands and Christ aren't separate entities.
The Bible is the "Word of God" is it not?
