Citing Leviticus for moral guidance is rich. Should we also kill people having affairs? (Leviticus 20:10).

I'd argue that the moral principles of the Levitical law (e.g. "adultery is wrong") are not inherently bound to the specific punishments (e.g. "adultery is a capital crime") prescribed for ancient Israel.
