The disbeliever refuses to see the overarching narrative and repeated themes. So instead he focuses on each bible story as an isolated event. And without seeing how it fits into the grand scheme of things he sees only what he wants to see, a malicious and vindictive god. In short, the atheist is the real cherry-picker.

Meh. I don't think I've cherry picked. There are many nice teaching stories but also way too many dry bits. I've never been drawn into the book or seen it as an important book to get my head around. There are lots of books, many of them good. While there are good reasons to study the bible to understand our own culture but life is short and I have many books ahead of it on my reading bucket list.
