This is wrong. I know plenty of Xtians who don't give two shits about the god of the OT. They cherry pick only that which they like, which is usually just the message of love given by Jaysus. They even get offended at the notion of believing in a god like Yahweh.
That's a good thing, though maybe they should read the bible more. Still if they don't believe in the god of the old testament then what are they being saved from, and why the ten commandments.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
