You have to keep in mind that the Old Testament is more of a history book. The New Testament is where you find Jesus's teachings on how to live your life which boils down to love God and treat others with love. You can love a person without thinking that everything they do is right. Jesus also taught "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." And contrary to popular believe, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is NOT Biblical. It's part of a verse that says something to the extent of, "It has been said unto you an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you if someone slaps you on your right cheek turn to him your left..."
