Romans (7:4, 6 and 10:4) and Luke (16:16) say the law is no longer binding. ;-) See that’s part of the fun of the bible, one can select the parts that fit what one likes best.

He affirmed that no part of the law would pass, or could be disregarded, until God's purpose in giving it had been completed. (cf. Hebrews 2:1-3.) Until someone can credibly refute something that is explicitly stated in the new testament, I say that any christian who ignores the old testament is not being intellectually honest, or perhaps outright hypocritical.

Sure some Christians follow parts of it (mainly the ten commandments) but some believe that the new testament replaces the old. Not that your post on morality doesn't still hold water. I just thought I'd point that out. ;-) I hate to ruin a good party on a technicality but Deuteronomy is from the old testament which is the Jewish bible.

I'm always amazed at how many people equate atheism with moral and ethical hedonism. Instead, the ethics of the thoughtful atheist are based on something very concrete: the effect of an action on other human beings. Very nice.
