About that, what sounds a little weird to me is that earlier you told me that you would be quite comfortable even if the whole bible is nothing but a parable, and that you are indifferent to the factual accuracy of the Bible ... so then the question is ... why do you still bother to cherry pick to find out which bits of the book are (supposedly) right and which ones are wrong? Or what exactly compels you to accept certain verses as true and reject the others?
Or maybe I should ask you, do you cherry pick the bible more for the purpose of being right/consistent/accurate or just for your own personal satisfaction?
