Yes, cherry picking.
Just real handy to have a tome with convenient prohibitions against pretty much anything. Then, depending on ones whims, whatever group is out of favor at the moment can be easily subjugated with the force of the deity, just look for a verse and get oppressing. If you're really good at this churchy stuff, you don't even need a specific verse, after all, you're saved, obviously, anyone who disagrees with you is out of favor with God.
I think you might be a closet Moabite, you'd better kowtow to my will, cuz God says so.
I've also noticed a general trend; anything in the OT that you don't like is therefore superseded in the NT, even if you can't find the verse, and anything in the OT that isn't a problem for you, particularly if it seems to apply to people you don't like, why what a coincidence, God says you'd better be extra vigilant in cracking the whip on that one.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
