Some times they cherry pick without really knowing they're cherry picking.
When I believed I took the bible literal first, until people started noting all the different contradictions and things that made no sense whatsoever, and since I've always been a reasonable person even when still indoctrinated I changed to the non-literal camp, but once it was asked how you know what's literal and what not pretty soon it all fell apart.
It's like how you enjoy a movie when you first watch it, but once you look at it again and start paying attention to all the plot inconsistencies and things that don't work you realize it wasn't as great as you remembered.
Of course, the difference here is nobody ever committed murder over a movie.
