It’s quite simple.
As Humans our nature is " go against the Laws" Do you know why there are so many Laws in this world? Imagine this world without Laws! It will be a total Chaos Right! So Laws are created to adjust Human Behavior! There are Laws that we don't like but we have to follow. No one is exempt of the Laws!
Having said that! The Bible is a Book that helps us to straight up our lives. Since Adam sinned we all became sinners by nature, So God gave us his Word (Bible) to restore our lives and this world.
So why some people are against God's Word.
Example:
The bible explains homosexuals/lesbianism is a Sin. If I'm Gay/lesbian and I'm happy the way my life is, of course I’m not going to agree with the bible, because homosexuals/lesbianism is something that I like to do or live in, This person's life will not like that at all, it means that if I choose to agree with the bible I will have to leave of being gay/lesbian.
You can take any example and apply it. Thats' why

that's why so many people don't like the bible so they can do whatever they want, it's easy to ignore God's Word but, Jesus said it take a lot of Courage to follow him, not everyone is capable to live accroding to the bible, Because is against this world. The world thells you that homosexualism/lesbianism is right, get drunk it's right, fornication and adultery is right!! and people like to do all these stuff, so why i'm going to obey a simple book!! and that's what the Devil's part come in play, he convince peeple that all these things are right, he tells people that he does not exist, etc.. that'swhy people are so blinded these days.

People don't disagree with the bible, they disagree on mans interpretation of it. The topics you bring up are a good example of this. Mans interpretation of this issues, breeds separation and hate. As our god is a god of love... this is in direct contradiction of his message and something I don't agree with.
You might want to do some studying. The word sin, in it's original context means separate. It is not an act, something that we do, it's a state of being that we are all born into and work to outgrow through connecting with our source. Judgment of another is just as sinful and your words make you no better than those you are condemning (and for the record I am not a lesbian and have no opinions regarding those types of choices, as they have no bearing on my life)

"It’s quite simple."
Ah. On the verge of answering your own question, I see. This should be... well, pointless.
"As Humans our nature is " go against the Laws""
What species are YOU? Seems to me like as humans, our nature is to do what we're told and to be led easily.
"There are Laws that we don't like but we have to follow."
Like gravity, for instance. I wish I could fly. :-(
"The Bible is a Book that helps us to straight up our lives."
By 'us', I certainly hope you're not including those who do not subscribe to it. It's a book chock-full of inconsistencies, absurdities, contradictions, and cruelties.
So your argument is people are against the Bible because it goes against things that people are perfectly free to do in the first place. Are you serious? That's the crux of your argument?
Look. People have read the Bible and have found it to be an absurd work of literature. We choose not to follow it not because we're 'rebelling' against it or we're 'avoiding' it... but because it's not an authoritative source. It's not a book that we all need to follow, as much as you wish it were so.
I get the feeling that if YOU actually took the time to read the damn thing (especially Leviticus), you'd probably retract this question. Even YOU wouldn't want to follow the wonderful 'laws' of the Bible.
Edit:
You STILL don't get it, do you? Morality and acceptance and tolerance in today's society is NOT dictated by the Bible. Stop using it as an authoritative source... it is NOT a law book for those who do not have to subscribe to it.

Well, what's weird about your explanation here is that most people I have seen, here and in Real Life, those who are Christian, claim the "old laws are done away with" because of their belief. Seems the only time a law is "good" is when it's against something the individual is against... but perfectly alright to ignore those laws that may be against something they or a loved has done - Example: Divorce.

All I am reading on this question is, out of date this and out of date that, which is a lot of crock. THE LAWS we have now are based on the 10 Commandments written OVER 2000 years ago. MAN HAS done away with the meaning of them, NOT GOD. Everyone tries to rationalize anything they don't understand. Its called IGNORANCE. (Spiritual and Blind)
If a blind man leads another blind man, both will fall into a ditch. And Spiritual Ignorance BREEDS Spiritual Ignorance. Pitiful, pitiful.

Well first of all sweetie the bible is all MAN MADE period-Second why would we choose to believe in a book that is 2000 years old and has no relevance to our lives-And third-Do you really think that a person "chooses" their sexuality? I mean really do you honestly think we would choose that kind of lifestyle that brings about hatred and fear to our lives from people like the religious zealots out there-the answer is a big fat NO!-I'm Agnostic and Damn proud to be a free thinking individual-THANK YOU------and peace be to all

Of course, it's all open to interpretation. I know many homosexuals who are devout Christians, because they read the Bible as saying things like "God loves everyone" and "Everyone sins, and no sin is worse than any other".

People don't follow the bible because it doesn't make sense and there's no reason to. God is pretend, and the bible is made up to support the fairy tale.
There's no reason to follow the bible. There is no invisible man in the sky. Sorry.

So if I disagree with the decision that the god of the Bible made to slaughter countless innocent men, women, and children, it's because I naturally want to go against laws? What are you talking about? Do you have a question?

The Bible may only be half the problem. The other half is how Christians conduct themselves--which, to a big degree, something to be desired. Self-righteousness and contradiction are the culprits to Christianity's down fall.

why do so many people accept the bible to be the word of god without ever questioning it?
To say "it is human nature to go against laws" is utterly ridiculous and a completely false statement. Therefore the rest of your ramblings are pointless and invalid.
