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.
I believe I have already addressed this. When you ignore the fundamental teachings of Christ Himself, particularly the one teaching He said was most important, you have crossed the line. There is a massive difference between having different interpretations about some Old Testament stuff and how it was written, and going completely against Jesus' fundamental commandment to love.
"Jesus said do this"
"Buddha said do this"
"Mohammed said do this"
"The Torah Talmud say do this"
Yea and? Look again we can like you the individual and still point out that it is still your own pet claim. AGAIN you really should compare your claims of "Jesus said be kind, share and be charitable and help the poor" and compare those ideas with the other religions. Buddhist and Muslims also point to those calls to compassion. So do Jews.
And again, that is not being handed down to humans through anything divine, it was already in us prior to knowing how to write.
