I hear all the time that Christians like to cherry pick the Bible and therefore...what?
What does that charge actually mean? That the Bible is not true? Are difficult passages evidence of something? If so what?
I agree there are many difficult passages to our modern sensibilities. But you seem to be saying that when a Christian quotes the Bible they should...what? quote OT passages rape laws just as often?...I don't know what you expect?
Therefore you're all irrational, you only believe and accept the parts that you want to be true and ignore all the horrifying shit that's in there. Thereafter when you spread "the word of god" you also spread all that horrible shit in the book. If you cherry pick the morally good parts of the bible in order to become a better person, alright. But if you cherry pick the bible and believe it really is the word of god, then you'll probably spread that peaceful book of yours.
