Either ignore the Old Testament or strictly adhere to everything contained therein. I hate cafeteria religions in which people pick and choose what rules they want to follow. Deciding to obey whatever is convenient while ignoring the rest. Even this wouldn't be so bad if these people weren't often so judgmental. Oh well, it's not like the Old Testament has anything to do with the teachings of Christ whatsoever.

He's not, but I am.  The bible should be dismissed as an outdated text, just like old science books are.  Hell, science books get outdated after a couple decades, the Bible is over a millenia out of date. It should not be the platform in which anyone dictates their life. 

Ignore it completely, then, otherwise we have racism, bigotry, ignorance, hatred, and slavery to guide us.  Stone your woman!  Kill that gay dude!  KILL ALL WHO DON'T ADHERE TO OUR STRICT AND NONSENSICAL RULES! 

yeah, and you people wonder why I'm so anti-religious. 

And it is said, "Don't google santorum, particularly if you are at work".  That should knock the sexiness level down even further.

So, the idea here, if I follow GOP compromised ideology is that corporations can run amok and do massive damage due to greed, go out of business and lay off lots of people, cause polution and poverty (but hey everyone can get a cheap TV), and cause an increase in the divide between rich and poor, BUT the government can go into people's bedrooms and computers and snoop around, making sure people are morally pure?  Hey, maybe they can outlaw divorce also, while they are at it, in order to save money.  Fact most people couldn't live under those condition doesn't matter, there is a country to save.

The Nolan Chart is excellent (link is above and picture is below).  It does a decent job laying out things (it is not perfect, but it is relatively fair).  Qas for myself, I have gone ending up politically being anarchist (anarcho-capitalist, on the basis of respect for property following what Locke wrote), in that I am really opposed to any coersion of any type for any reason, with affinity for Christian faith and its values.

Christ teachings (my assessment of them at least, and hopefully in keeping with Christian thought) do a summing up of what the Old Testament said, if it operates in a context of people not living in a political theocracy where people don't have control over the rules.  The heart of what the teachings said are what are drived at, particularly from what the prophetic texts of the Old Testament were on.

I do believe also that cafeteria religion is one of the most disrespectful things that can be done.  People should have enough respect to let the religion say what it says and leave it at that.  Of course, there is practical considerations on actually doing it, when faced with conflicting demands, but that doesn't mean one can't respect the religion.  People to use, for example, the Christ and Christianity as an escape pass from Hell, and then go around and selectively pick what they want, and beat those over the head of those who disagree.  They will dogmatically be set to defend something, and then prooftext to justify it.  Doing that is some of the worst things that can be done and does damage to what a religion stands for and thus is one of the most disrespectful things that can be done.

Good chart. I like it :)

The difference between "outdated science books" and the Bible is that the Bible contains the word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.  So, while I'm not willing to completely disagree with your assessment (because I am not a religious person), I wouldn't be so quick to write off the book that billions of people hold as sacred and irreplaceable in their hearts.

Milllions of people hold the Twilight series close to their hearts and that promotes stalking, abuse, and misogyny.  A Million people can still be wrong. 

Again, I refer to my "if you can prove god exists, then I'll back off" clause.  As long as God is an 'idea' with no tangible evidence supporting his, her, or its presence, then it should be treated as any other outdated or ill-supported theory is: it should be dropped. 

I understand your clause, and frankly I agree with you.  My point, though, is that more than half of the earth's population DOES believe in God and his teachings, and so I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to say their beliefs are any more or less valid than my own. We may be wrong, they may be wrong. It's impossible to know.
