It's very true that Xians, for example, will recite the ten commandments up and down all day long, but then stoning naughty children at the edge of town is conveniently forgotten. And good thing too!
That's not true period, the verses you refer to have been explained many times and have never been refuted by atheist. You all like to say Christians cherry pick yet atheist are more guilty of this practice, you only pick out one or two verses.... oh wait you go to a website that has done all the work for you and grab a few lines and claim you found them, that's dishonest. You have no idea what is in the Bible because you parrot others, maybe we should start calling you guys mockingbirds that way we can cover two reasons with one bird. Hey did I just kill two birds with one stone. Why do you want us to study evolution before we argue it, yet set a second standard for yourselves and say you do not need to read or study scripture. Double standards and double talk, use others work and claim it for yourselves, great moral standards you have.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
