Privacy advocates have been on about how big data and large datasets can be be used against the population for decades. Now key data released by the immigration department may provide the key to bringing barbaric crimes out into the open. Data released by the Government shows thousands of child brides allowed by immigration. Accounts by some of the victims detail how they were used to gain access to America even though they were underage. While some senators have sworn to close the loopholes used to bring child brides into the US we can only expect more of this type of activity to come to light in the future as the public engages in analysis of data released by governments.

    Of course, one of the things they tend to ignore, as you are doing here, is that those hundreds of laws are addressed specifically to a group of God's chosen people that he called out of Egypt, and repeatedly, they are addressed to that specific group for the specific purpose of showing that they were a special group with distinct behavior.

    The disciple Peter in Acts chapter 10 tries to make, with God, the same argument about bacon that you are making here, only to be answered in a vision (verse 15) “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” So the Christ-followers are probably on pretty good biblical ground when they eat bacon.

    If you are a self-described Christian and you are picking and choosing laws in Leviticus, it doesn't mean you need to pick all of Leviticus. It means you missed things like "you are not under the law, but under grace." (Rom 6:14) and the like.

    What about the part that tells you what to do if a man has a wet dream?
