And yes I was sinbinned a while ago, but I don't see what that has to do with anything. And there is a app for that: It's called the ignore button.

The Old Testament is a Stick. The New Testament is a Carrot. They are both attempts to show the right path to a person. In the New Testament it was frequently mentioned that it wasn't the Old Testament that was wrong, but that people weren't reading it right (A point of view that Islam also appears to share, but has made a different conclusion). Having both the Old and the New Testaments actually help to illuminate the direction a person's life should go.
