Why, because I said something that was true. Atheist use the Bible for their own agendas by twisting it around through cherry picking and I've seen Christians here do the same. I try and back up Biblical verses with others and explain the meaning of them.

Here's the thing, GC. That cherry picking can even be an issue is a strike against the Bible being authored by an omniscient being. An omniscient being could easily author a book so consistent that you couldn't go to one verse and use it to make the opposite point that another verse does. Heck, if it had been written by one human, we would expect fewer verses at odds with each other. That atheists and Christians can both cherry pick to make their cases only underscores how inconsistent your scriptures are. And 90% of the time, that's the point the atheist is trying to make: 'Hey, Christian, you're cherry picking by ignoring this verse over here that says the opposite of what you say the Bible says!'
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
