Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.

Christians have already de facto decided that parts of the bible aren’t a good basis for laws; otherwise, we wouldn’t have laws allowing someone to declare bankruptcy. As far as I can tell, most countries that are majority Muslim allow for bankruptcy procedures when a person or business is insolvent and will be unable to pay their debts. Israel also has bankruptcy laws that dissolve debts.
The number of countries where a debtor must pay back every single farthing they owe, regardless of solvency or ability to pay, and the debt passes on to heirs, is vanishingly small.
In the Bible the jubilee year lasts 49 years. Still it’s considered immoral in all Abrahamic religions not to pay own debts and you told ‘not paying own debts’ is moral in some cases (like from the rich). Don’t compare things stoning for being gay with not paying debts - the first was only once mentioned, maybe twice in torah, second all over the bible (both old and new testament)
Stoning for being gay is mentioned all over the bible…? There’s a mistranslated part in the old testament that says that it’s an ‘abomination’, but textual analysis indicates that it was a condemnation of pederasty–which was common among the Greeks at the time–rather than a condemnation of being gay. Paul def. had a problem with gay people, but that appears to be a revulsion with Roman practices and customs, rather than anything strictly religious. Jesus said nothing about it directly. On the other hand, Jesus DID say that you should gouge your eyes out rather than look at a woman in lust, and yet, evangelicals elected an unrepentant, thrice married, multiple-adulterer as president.
Do you understand a meaning of 'hyperbole Bible was written by priests and they were educated people. Besides: give exact quotes with refs before you want me to response to your “watered down monologue”
Regarding homosexuality ( yes it’s about homosexuality nor pederasty)
