The Bible is also a time line. Over the course of this time line God makes multiple covenants or promises with various people. In the New Testament Christ forms a new covenant between God and man, meaning we don't have to obey all those ancient, inhumane rules that would force us to kill other people or send anybody who's uncircumcised or who has eaten unclean meat to hell.
I'm not a Christian and don't really believe in God, but I think this is pretty obvious. And if they choose to ignore the parts that would have them killing people, isn't that better? Who cares if they don't actually obey the whole Bible, verbatim, the last thing we need is more religious extremists.
