No one cares if it's old testament it's your god who commands to chop off part of your dick period. Denying actions of your god when it's not convenient...hmm. You worship a butcher who has the most sensitive ego. Please go and pray (cope) to your invisible, inaudible, intangible, illusionary sky wizard that will definitely work this time.

I remember earlier on you said how you don't need God to know that taking the life of another human being is wrong? What you fail to realize is that very knowledge came from God.
Let's take a look at God's Covenant with Noah.
Genesis 9:1-7
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
“But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.
I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.“Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made mankind.
As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
What you can infer from this is that life was very different before the flood. Humans were not afraid to take the life of other humans but also did not look to animals as food. The first recorded murder in the Bible is when Cain takes the life of his brother, Abel.
God has given man the right and responsibility of capital punishment. Would you defy authority and murder another human being? You know the consequences if you do. God himself has put that fear in you and has put man in charge of making sure that life will not return to where it was before the flood.
Romans 13:1-5
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
What about animals for food? Again, life was different before the flood. After the flood is now a new beginning and perhaps the eco system will never be the same.
So when you say that you don't need God to know that murder is wrong? God himself gave you that knowledge and fear of murder.
