pointed something out that sounds simliar to what I think you are saying. She asked the audience if they had ever read Leviticus. Only a few clapped. She then asked the audience if they knew that the book of the Bible that is often thrown in the face of gay people also said that if a man ever touched a bed a woman with her period he had been in, he was to be put to death. She said half the audience would be dead if we tried to follow that literally. She also pointed out some other things in there and it made perfect sense when she asked if we CAN really live at all if we take it literally or only concentrate on the stricter Old Testament.
