Well, basically the core of Christian philosophy is to love your neighbor. You can not genuinely love God without loving your neighbor.

Question for Christians: do you have anything in your religion that you ignore or disagree with for any reason?

Even all the stuff in like Leviticus, which is really just a law document that the Jews created for the Persians so that they could freely practice their religion under Persian rule (rare at the time)? So anything from the first five books of the bible are more conventional laws of the time, not God's law. Things such as touching lizards being evil and instructions on slave keeping being in there is also another good sign.

What about human flesh, that a go now?

This kind of thing is addressed specifically in St. Peter's dream in the Acts of the Apostles. Peter, a Jew, is still thinking that to be righteous you have to do this and do that and eat this and not that. Peter is given a dream wherein he is instructed that there are no unclean foods anymore. The rule was there for a certain time and place. "Therefore, do not call unclean what God has called clean."

If God is infallible then why would he change his mind?
