The old testament laws have become obsolete per Hebrews 8:13. However, the teachings and character of God derived from the OT are still valid. The Bible is a book for grown ups so please discuss it as a grown up.
I'm okay with that. There are a bunch of Christian groups who only follow the New Testament and completely ignore the Old Testament. So they are already doing what you want.

Really?
If one wants to deny Jewish contributions to Christianity then do us a favor and delete the old testament.
This isn't a denial of the ancient Israelites contribution to the faith, it's a claim that Talmudism is illegitimate.
That's a gross misunderstanding of Jewish doctrine

Then launch that version. Also take out the holidays, symbolism and God out of it. Try have Christianity without those.
You mean holidays like Christmas and Easter? Those are pagan/Christian holidays, absolutely unrelated to Judaism.
Why would we remove God from Christianity? God is a very important part of the New Testament. Jesus is the Son of God.
