If you only take seriously the parts you happen to agree with, then all you're doing is having your own morality reflected back at you. And the fact you have to ignore most of the book to achieve this shows how utterly irrelevant it is.

I've been over why free will is a flawed argument about a million times so I'll leave that one for now Tongue

False premise.

Christians don't "discard most of it". (Notice that they still carry it around, read it, and refer to it, rob? So much for that empty comment.)

However, they do endeavour to understand it in light of the NEW Testament which builds upon it.
