Tobias Robinson said the following recently:

	One of the fundamental differences bewteen Chistianity and
	Judaism is the determination by jesus that Christians should
	accept as commandments, from the first five books of the bible,
	only the "ten commandments".

(Those spelling mistakes are his...)  That may be correct when Christians
are deciding what to eat and so on; however, you find it getting thrown out
the window when the time comes to find Biblical reasons for putting some
class of people down, like homosexuals or occultists.  Then the quotes of
restrictions from the Pentateuch fly fast and hard.
