In the Old Testament about this is the entire text - continuous horror stories from small and spiteful god, the effects of both modern and cheap Hollywood movies, but a large number of pages, reminding the administrative and penal code.

This code is not in general administrative and criminal law - two big differences.: D Actually Donation codes then never written, and relevant rules, it is often included in the religious texts. Apparently, then it was more efficient. As for vendetta "eye for eye, tooth for tooth", etc., she was then widely distributed and long after (in Russia abandoned it almost before anyone else).
But maybe, one finds that the closer to him?
I read in the Old Testament was very impressed by other things. For example, "The Lord was with Judah, and he mastered the mountain, but the inhabitants of the valley could not drive because they had chariots of iron." (Judges 1:19). What chariot - is not clear, but terribly interesting. Another excerpt "... a man leave his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife and the two shall become one flesh" (Gen. 2, 24). Here, and comment nothing. And do not read the wonderful teachings Jews about how to comply with the requirements of hygiene? A Ekliziasta not read "And I gave my heart to, to know wisdom and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this - vexation of spirit, because in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."

The fact that the ancient Greeks and Romans worshiped the wrong gods, did not prevent them to create the beginning of European civilization and culture.

Yeah, just a question: They Do? Open a history textbook for grade 5. So before the Romans on the peninsula suddenly blossomed the civilization of the Etruscans, and Babylon flourished (or withering?) In place an advanced civilization of the Sumerians. At the same time raise about Egypt, and in the north there was a legendary Hyperborea "country towns". Who are they and where at once come from around the same time such an advanced civilization - is not clear.
