Not baiting, not trying to prove a point, I am actually trying to find out the answer to this question from a christian perspective. Please, no atheistic flames, only intelligent rebuttal.
Ok, Christians (at least all of the ones I talked to) tell me that they believe in the teachings of the new testament and that the old testament is obsolete. Thus they are able to adequately distance themselves from such quotes as Exodus 20:21. Basically all Christians tell me that they follow ONLY the new testament and that the old testament has been completely stricken from their belief. But why do Christians still use the old testament when it suits them, such as condemning gays? Jesus preached a message of tolerance, not hate, and the anti-gay message was only in the old testament. Isn't this hypocrisy?

Few Christians that I personally know believe that. Maybe you need to expand your circle a bit.

So you believe that both the old and the new testaments have equal validity? Even exodus 20:21?

Jesus was a Jew, right?
He would have been educated according to many of the OT teachings, right?
Why would they no longer be valid as teachings?
Sure rituals might have changed over time as the two began to split.
I think that Christians who don't read the OT are missing a lot of wonderful scripture, philosophy, and poetry.

Fuck, my bad, 21:20
21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Slowly beating your slaves to death
It's okay with God if you slowly beat your slaves to death. After all, they are your money. Just make sure that they survive at least a day or two after the beating.
What the Bible says about slavery and torture
The Bible's guide to torture
21:21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

20 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. -Biblegateway.com
