0. Are you Jewish? All of these laws really apply to Jews. Christians have accepted SOME of them so you'll have to talk to your local priest to see if these laws were accepted.
1. Read all the rules on slavery and you'll see that it reads more like indentured servants (with pay and a limit on service) than the slavery you think of. As for neighbors, it refers to other nations so Canadians are ok. 2. I have to look that one up to be 100% sure as I've got a daughter. 3. Which is one reason not to have physical contact with women you are not related to; women you don't know about. For a religious Jew, there's no contact for about 2 weeks a month and longer based on childbirth or miscarriage. 4. o sacrifices are allowed outside of the temple once it was built. Until it's rebuilt, you're going to have to wait. 5. Is he bound by the Sabbath? Are you? I'll have to look up the specifics on that as well to see if you have a valid case here. 6. I know someone who died in a car accident and someone who died of old age. Is there any difference in the fact that they are dead? 7. Have to look this up as well as there may be a translation issue here. 8. Translation problem. Shave their temples in a ritual manner 9. I think playing football is grounds for the death penalty as well. 10. Without a 'kosher' court to judge them, no death penalty can be inflicted.
