The Bible says:
1 Corinthians 6:9
9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

You said:
[I am not against homosexuality or alternative lifestyles.]
Looks like you’re already contradicting what your first statement.

[I do not care if God told me to kill everyone in a village, I am not going to kill a baby.]

You're more righteous than God?

[I want to believe in God but many of the things that happened in the old testament I think were man inspired and the laws of the land at that time.]

No, they are not just thought up by men. Everything is written by men according to God’s Words. You either believe the whole thing or don’t. Sounds like you just want to pick out what works for you and throw away whatever doesn’t work for you. A lot of people like it that way. But Jesus teaches that those who are children of the kingdom are those who follow His commandments.

As more and more people are discovering, it is perfectly possible to live a happy, fulfilled, caring life without feeling the need to believe in a god:

“It took me years, but letting go of religion has been the most profound wake up of my life. I feel I now look at the world not as a child, but as an adult. I see what's bad and it's really bad. But I also see what is beautiful, what is wonderful. And I feel so deeply appreciative that I am alive. How dare the religious use the term 'born again.' That truly describes freethinkers who've thrown off the shackles of religion so much better!”
