I look at the Old Testament as a collection of 'stories'....written to perhaps teach us a few moral lessons, but certainly not to be taken as the literal way to follow God.
If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, which defines what a Christian is, your beliefs are based around Jesus Christ, his birth, his life, and his death.
Hint - none of that happened in the Old Testament.
The Jewish faith on the other hand, doesn't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, which is why so much, if not all of their belief is based on the Old Testament.
