Atheist response to cherry-picking: 'So-called "holy scriptures" were written by ignorant barbarians who didn't understand the world around them and were terrified by it. Modern believers pick and choose the bits they like and ignore the rest because they don't understand the world around them and are terrified by it.'
Theistic response to cherry-picking: 'The nice scriptures are from God the Father and following them makes us better people. The icky bits were sneaked into the [insert name of appropriate myth collection here] by the Great Deceiver and were put there to trap us. Thus, ignoring what makes us uncomfortable is another way to show our devotion to God.'
