Heck, in Leviticus, it's commanded that persons who leave the Jewish or (by extension) Christian faith be stoned.

Gosh yes, everybody knows that in 2005 Christians and Jews are so busy stoning their fellow citizens that no one gets a lunch hour anymore. (sarc. off).
What "extension"?! Have you read the New Testament? Where is the stonning recommended there?
No one stones anybody until I blow the whistle!
