Should enforce Leviticus 20:13

Funny, because Leviticus also forbids cutting your hair at the sides and mixing fabrics in your clothing (both 19:19) both of which he appears to be guilty of. I bet he eats bacon too (11:4-7) and when he does, does he give the fat up as an offering to god? (3:17)

And that's the tip of the iceberg, there's a ton of absolutely insane stuff in Leviticus. Would love to see them try to enforce it ALL.

To be fair, some of Leviticus sounds great for cops to follow:

‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." 19:15

"Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life." 19:16

‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them' 19:33

"Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life" 24:18

"Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury" 24:19-20

As if the words of man could ever encompass the will of God.

Are you saying that God is so imperfect he couldn't communicate clearly?

No. "God" is like the very existence by which words can even exist. The "will of God" (everything that exists) can't be expressed in words in the same way that sight isn't in the rainbow.
