You'd suggest I start ... cough, splutter ... you really think I am interested in the insane logic of theist apologists? Get real man!
Now ... are you saying the bible is real (as in true) or not? If it is then you'd be a literalist, if it it isn't (allegory) then one is forced to wonder why you believe any of it, why you are a Christian? Or is it, despite your philosophical ducking and diving, just a case of you believing the bits you want to and rejecting (or declaring as allegory) those bits you don't like? If it (and I strongly suspect it is) you are, by definition, cherry-picking!
