Is cursing allowed by your God who desires his people to follow rules like automatons?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

What rules? The substantial majority of the OT consists of historical narrative or prophecy, which don't contain rules as such any more than Genesis contains Eve showing off for the snake. The part that does consist of rules, ie the Law, contains many rules which I imagine you don't follow any more than we do, because most of them are either:
A. Dietary laws and other customs abolished by the Jerusalem Council in Acts--eating pork and shellfish, mixing types of fabric, rules of slaughter and the like;
B. Rules governing the correct mode of worship and temple setup, which were replaced by Christian forms--how many golden cherubim are in your church?
C. Property codes pertaining to slavery/indentured servitude, polygamy/concubines, the jubilee and other institutions which no longer exist;
D. Injunctions against forms of worship concerning other deities, which you necessarily obey by default because nobody has practiced said forms of worship for at least 2000 years. I, for one, have never been the slightest bit tempted to plant a tree as an idol (or adjunct to idol-worship) outside my church.
Also you don't practice any of the OT punishments (I assume), nor push for them to implemented (I hope). As for the remaining portions of the Law (which form a scant minority), the Sermon on the Mount and Christ's several years of excoriating the Pharisees pretty well put paid to a strict, legalistic interpretation of such things. Not to mention, yet again, the letter to the Romans.

My God, Jesus, called into questions rules, such as the ones that observant Jews followed but their hearts weren't fully invested in God. He smacks down the Levites and the priests for ignoring a dying man on the side of the road because under the "rules" he was considered unclean. He hangs out with lepers, allows prostitutes to wash His feet, allows a woman with a constant menstration issue to touch the hem of His robe, even though with the "rules" those are all unclean actions. Because rules are not what God wants, He wants your heart and your love for Him as well as others. You need to break away from this "rule" base mindset and take a step towards God. All you are right now, Kid, is a Jew for Jesus. Become a Christian and love God with all your heart, mind, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Again you haven't read the Bible. You may have read things about the Bible that are false, but you haven't read the Bible.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. -Matthew 5:22
I guess Kidicious read this several times and concluded that calling someone a "horses ass" is different.

Btw, Kid, you are quoting John. So lets bring the successive verses down:
John 14:15-18
15“If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will bec in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
