What is one to take from a message like that? Do as is written in an ancient book which by your own admission is from a time with very different 'moral' values, or die a horrible death?
There are a great many things I find distasteful about religion, but one which never ceases to amaze me are the incredible shifting standards of it's advocates. If the bible is all about loving your neighbour (just as long as he or she isn't gay presumably), then why is this particular flavour of 'god' such a psychopath? Which 'moral' messages should be adhered to, and which are now just out of date nonsense? Surely you must see the hypocrisy?

Couple of points 
1. You forgot Noah's family.
2. Gay neighbours is fine, and you can love them, even if they're practicing homosexuals, just remind them to repent
