Personally i think people just misunderstand the teachings. Not only literally but even in it's essence(This would tend to even include those opposed).
Most people tend to look at what it is rather than why it is(what exactly doing it is supposed to prevent or cause). Simply saying, "God wouldn't want me to" is a fucking stupid reason. It's like the little kid who won't steal candy because his mommy is watching. Perhaps the biggest thing for the church to get over is not merely performing the deeds in the bible but first understanding them.
I would say the same to anyone opposing them as well, most people who raggatag the Christian religion are irritating and trying to fit into the adverse christian cliche. "I'm cool because I hate God".
They sit around thinking of ways to spite the christian religion and finding contradictions that have nothing at all to do with the Spiritual nature of it. It really just makes people look stupid when they go, "GOD LOVES EVERYONE BUT HE FLOODED THE EARTH? TRULY GOD IS NOT REAL THEN SO THE WHOLE BIBLE IS FALSE", little beknown it to them there are many places in the bible where it says GOD IS EVIL and people are merely trying to propisition his good side with their faith.

Why fight the proposed answers when you can develop your own perceptions? It's such a waste of time. Igrony?
