It advocates prejudice, cruelty, superstition, and murder. If you believe that your god is infallible, you can't throw out some of the rules, just because you don't like them.

I dont believe in god and my moral code is based on what I feel to be right and wrong. I think I am a better person for it,because I make good choices because of my conscience and not because of fear or what I read in a book.

Men and the traditions of man advocate prejudice, curelty, superstition and murder.
If you look at what the 10 Commandments state: Thou shalt not kill, honor thy father and mother, thou shalt not commit adultry etc. These are wise principles to live by.
In the New Testament Jesus Christ added to these commandments by charging his followers to "love thy neighbor as thyself, turn the other cheek, clothe the naked and feed the hungry. " You can also see the good that Christ advocated in how he lived his life, by serving the poor and and outcast of society.
Any rules that have been thrown out, again, have been throw out by Man and the traditions of men, not Christ.

what resource would you suggest ? The more refined present day principles mostly originated in a coarse form in early history.
and it's not my god!also don't ignore the fact that today's law or moral code leaves a lot to be desired also!

All you have to do is look at the ten commandments to know that your statement is ridiculous. It does none of the things that you stated. God is love.
