Why do you think that is? Maybe it's because most, if not all, Christians do it. After being accused of something time and time again, by multitudes of people, you might start wondering if you're guilty.

So I take it when atheists accuse theists of cherry picking that they do so thoughtlessly.
Not true at all. Having one, unanimous interpretation of a text and following the rules of said text would mean you are not cherry-picking. But when you, personally, decide which parts of a text to follow and which to ignore, you are cherry-picking.
And no, I'm not going to play your game where you list rules and I have to choose which ones you broke. You're being insanely disingenuous, as per usual, Acrobat. Mental gymnastics and such.
The funny part is, you probably really believe you're making a good point here. That's how disconnected from reality you seem to be.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
