Why is Faith/Belief a Moral Issue?

[abaris]

Then why claim there's something wrong with the way that Christians interpret/misinterpret scripture?

Because there are some christians that take some parts of the bible literally and some parts as being up for interpretation. That's the whole point I'm trying to make. Cherry picking at the individual level to make ends meet. Some claim the bible to be the word of god and shoot off verses as if there was no tomorrow. And the next verse in the same book on the same page is suddenly not to be taken literally.

That's what I'm getting at. It's most obvious with the condemnation of gay people. The verse they're always quoting is on the same page as not wearing cloths of two different fabrics, not eating shellfish, not cutting hair or beard and not making any body modifications. All is called an abomination in the eyes of god. The same people who take one verse as literal to have a talking point, are well dressed, shaved and probably do eat shrimp.
