Regarding Gay Blade,
I recall wondering at the time why the Bible stuff on gays applies to everyone, inside and outside of the faith, but then other things in the Bible don't even apply to any members of the flock. Looks like I was making a connection to scripture cherry picking long before I ever heard the term, but did not realize back then just how much of the Bible is deemed irrelevant by the faithful and how pernicious scripture cherry picking was back then and still is today.

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