They might be cherry picking a few parts of scripture that they like more, but they aren't doing that any more than the more friendly Christians. Even though I know which Christians I prefer to deal with, I'd still consider members of each group to be Christians. This goes back to my first post in this thread.

If I did want to argue against your specific beliefs, though, I would ask you what you believed instead. Individual Christians always interpret their religious beliefs in different ways.
That's about as vapid as saying that all opinions are equally valid. It's surprising how many atheists appeal to classical foundationalism when asking "evidence" then appeal to the principles of postmodern critical theory when doing comparative analysis.
