What is so worthwhile about it that you need to hang onto it? You know what morality is, you don't need religion for that. You never did. When did cherry picking ever reveal the whole truth? If you're choosing through your own moral compass then you're not following the Bible, you're following parts. A version tailored to you? Why? Why bother? You don't need it, you're more moral than that book. I don't know anyone who isn't.
Morality isn't the reason you hang onto that book. Have you asked yourself what the real reason is?
You don't get it... I don't agree with the Bible, the Bible agrees with me.
It's a story of fucked up ppl doing fucked up things and only claiming "thus saith the Lord" when the "Lord" was actually silent...
The problem is that you seem to have a problem with a freethinking bible reader. What, must I accept what you or your preist says is true?
Out of the two of us I'm the one whos read the whole thing. Who do you think gets it more? The only reason you think the Bible agrees with you is because you've been taught the path to truth is through cherry picking. Cherry picking? Really? Think about that for a moment. Does a historian learn his trade through cherry picking what he wants to learn? How about a builder? An accountant? Philosopher? No, none of them do. Why should being a Christian be any different? If being a Christian was a trade then The Bible would be the manual... so why is cherry picking through it taught as an appropriate method of learning?
If you really are freethinking then consider that question and see if you can think of reasons other than that gained from passages added later on in the new testament. Anything in the Bible will have been written to benefit the Bible. You use that as a reference and its about as reasonable as me asking a murder suspect to be the judge and jury for his own courtcase. It will basically say "because God wants you to"... but you yourself said it was written by men. What the fuck do they know about what God wants?
