You are cherry picking just as you accuse Christians of doing.  Read everything in its context.

Yes, lkingpinl. Everyone is cherry picking. There's no such thing as absolute objectivity, even more so with a text that isn't clear on anything and sometimes outright contradictory. We do it in the same way as christians do it.

And I hardly have any problem with a christian like you doing it, since the message you seem to take away from that book, seems to be one of tolerance. What I have a problem with are those christians, who take certain passages and fuel their own bigotry and hatred with these verses. And they expect everyone to share this bigotry and hatred to the extent that they want it written in law.

And I share that same disdain that you have.  Smile
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
