Using the Bible against Republicans

Someone thought they'd be clever and try to bash Christians (well, only the "fundy" ones), Republicans and the Bible all at one time by bringing up Deuteronomy 24:5 in reference to the Iraq war. Here was my response:

That just goes to show what you Bible-bashing, God-hating left-wing loons and bigots lack in understanding of scripture. If you're going to point out one, why not point out all? There are 612 other Levitical laws that we "Bible-banging, God-fearing right-wing loons and fundamentalists" don't necessarily follow in the 21st Century. Why? Because we are under a new covenant in Christ. As he himself said, he didn't eliminate the old Law, but fulfilled it (Matthew 5:17), and through him we are justified (Acts 13:39).

So really, my ignorant, hateful friend, the issue isn't renouncing this one Levitical law or all Levitical laws, but using one's spirit and brain in understanding everything in the Bible instead of nitpicking it to bash someone or other. So you go right ahead and throw that verse in the faces of anyone you wish. Anyone with even a whit of understanding about Jesus' purpose on earth will easily be able to put you in your place.
