I am not a Jew, and I am not living in the ancient world. So I don't really care about how the ancient Jews arrived at their laws. And I am not the least bit interested in "preserving their society". Their society is long gone. Even Jews today don't follow most of those ancient proscriptions, anymore.
interesting that you accuse lifeisgood of picking and choosing and that you're blind to the fact that you do the same thing
unless you're consistent and reject "thou shalt not steal" and "thou shalt not murder" because they were derived by an ancient Jewish society that no longer exists
