God "put the plague of leprosy" into the houses of the Canaanites. 14:34
God explains the use of scapegoats. It goes like this: Get two goats. Kill one. Wipe, smear, and sprinkle the blood around seven times. Then take the other goat, give it the sins of all the people, and send it off into the wilderness. 16:6-28
Sprinkle the blood and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 17:6
If you upset God, he'll cause the land to vomit you out. 18:25
"Whosoever shall commit any of these abominations ... shall be cut off from among their people." 18:29, 19:8
Don't eat sacrifices on the third day or God will cut you off from among your people. 19:6-8
Kill anyone who "gives his seed" to Molech. If you refuse, God will cut you and your family off. 20:2-5
"For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Couldn't we try spanking first? 20:9
Both parties in adultery shall be executed. 20:10
If a man has sex with his father's wife, kill them both. 20:11
If a man "lies" with his daughter-in-law, then both must be killed. 20:12
If a man has sex with another man, kill them both. 20:13
If you "lie" with your wife and your mother-in-law (now that sounds fun!), then all three of you must be burned to death. 20:14
If a man or woman "lie with a beast" both the person and the poor animal are to be killed. 20:15-16
People with "familiar spirits" (witches, fortune tellers, etc.) are to be stoned to death. 20:27
A priest's daughter who "plays the whore" is to be burned to death. 21:9
God gives us more instructions on killing and burning animals. I guess the first nine chapters of Leviticus wasn't enough. He says we must do this because he really likes the smell -- it is "a sweet savour unto the Lord." 23:12-14, 18
Don't do any work on the day of atonement or God will destroy you. 23:29-30

Rule of thumb when dealing with the bible, it basically states that the followers of god will kill you if you don't do exactly what they say. Great religion.

firstly... for goodness sakes get the hell over it. death is part of life. remember if you lived to 50 back then you were OLD... things were alot different.
half that stuff is not even unreasonable! your obviously looking at it ENTIRELY out of context. if you want someone to REALLY not do it, if they ACTUALLY belive they will be executed if they DO act in that way, guess what, they probably won't do it.
considered the possibility that so many people would be put to death by these standards, BECAUSE the standard has become to tolerate such behavior? how many of these things *SHOULD NOT* be done ANYWAY? I mean think about it... if you only end up having to actually execute or ostracize one or two people every 5 or 10 years, total, ... the quality of society would be signifigantly better in some ways.
the ones on that list that are least-bizzare, and MOST problematic, are the ones that *DO*, honestly, deserve the punishment listed.
if rapists, child molestors, murderers, were given the impression that if they were decisively proven to have done so, they would be taken out and killed, unceremoniously, and immediately, that WOULD be enough these people from doing it. and if it would not, well, all the more they deserve to be executed.

You spend a lot of time making the bible negative. Have you tried reading the new testament. Sometimes it is hard for people to understand the bible when they have negative perspectives. Jesus is the best example of who God is. I used to be just like all these people who write comments on everyone who took religion seriously, making crude jokes. Little did I know when i actually started reading the bible it actually made sense. I look at it like this. If there is no hell, there is nothing to lose. But what if there is and everything the bible has been saying is the truth? If all you want to see is negative, you will only see the negative.
