Yes but the problem is people quote Leviticus often from a wonky translation and use it as an excuse for violence because it's supposed to be the word of God.
When some kids claim Slenderman made them do something horrid it's hard to see how they wouldn't have done something horrid in the name of anything because he is clearly not standing right behind you while you are reading this.
However when someone is raised to believe God is right behind you and before you as well as over to one side and wants (or at least wanted) a violent punishment for the crime of being a bit different it's hard not to see some problem with the text as a whole.
The text has all the bits we love, turning the other cheek, being kind to strangers etc and it has the stoning people to death and burning people alive bits.
One tarnishes the other (just as my proscribed/prescribed typo tarnished my earlier post).
Why do you think people like myself bring it up all the time?
We are tired of hearing it in the context of denying our freedoms and we are tired of being beaten up, set on fire, hung from cranes and bleached.
If it's a piece of history put it on a library shelf under, religious history.
If it's a piece of current scripture go out get a stone and join in with the nutters on the streets of Russia or Uganda or London.
Saying you are peaceful and holding onto to a piece of hate literature just doesn't wash.
