I Wonder How Good Fucking "God" Would Do If

[Ksa]

5. I try to follow the bits of the bible cherry picked as being right.

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?

Alhamdulellah, As-salamu alaykum, walaikum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, bisminlah al rahman al rahim, may Allah's peace and blessing be onto you.

In my understanding, yes he does cherry pick the Bible but that's mentioned in his religious orientation which says: Red Letter Christian. In some Bibles, the words of Jesus are marked in red so I assume that red letter christian means, someone who only follows what Jesus said in the Bible and nothing else.

Muslims cherry pick the Bible as well in fact. According to Muslims, some fragments of the Bible contains the word of God, but the Bible also contains absurdities, obscenities, pornography, so Muslims don't agree the Bible to be the word of God, as a whole, so they cherry pick inside it too! How can you not cherry pick things from such a Kamasutra pornography manual teaching people how to fist their wives and so on? Such a garbage book is bound to be cherry picked.

So basically, cherry picking the words of Jesus is not really cherry picking because Muslims agree to it, that it's correct. It's when you cherry pick among the red letters themselves that it becomes prohibited. You can't select phrases like "I and my father are one" and then reject phrases like "I by my own self can do nothing". So cherry picking among the words of Jesus is incorrect but the rest is acceptable because of the fabricated nature of the Bible.
