What bothers me about using the Bible as a book of rules is that a) interpretation varys widely and b) they were rules that were writting for various cultures (it has been told retold and edited over many, many generations and each time bent to meet the needs of the current generation) that pre-date our culture by millenia.
The rules just don't neccesarily apply.
(of course many of the big ones like many of the 10 commandments make perfect sense but have read of some of the rules the Bible puts forth... like keeping Kosher, etc are just a bit out of whack with the times)
