A Question to the Theists Here

[Violet]

With perfect English?

I don't understand your question...

How can one decide to only follow certain aspects of a religion and reject the rest because it doesn't fit their chosen belief system?

The same way as people identify with A, B, M, N... and not D.

It's like choosing toppings on a pizza that you like or dislike.

Pretty much

Religion doesn't work this way. Either accept it all or reject it all.

Unsupported logical dichotomy.

That would be a logical dichotomy... why can there be no middle ground?

Because we are talking about religion. There has never been a middle ground on religion.

Has, is, and likely will always be a vast multitude of 'middle ground's. Just as there are stages between the most delicious bacon, and the least delicious bacon. You do have your middle of the road bacon. I of course love bacon. Mm, bacon

Either repent and accept Jesus or burn in hell.

Under some interpretations. Hardly the only one though

One could give millions to charity every year to help his fellow man but if said person didn't accept Jesus then it's eternal damnation for you.

Again, only in some interpretations, and these only in some brands of Christianity

Some theists believe the burning brush is true, but for the sake of argument: If I disagree with one thing, why must I disagree with the lot of them? Say we have a political party that believes A, B, M, N, and D. Say I agree with A, B, M, and N... but I am vehemently against D. Does my opposition to D preclude my capacity to agree with A, B, M, and N? In the same way one might dissect the Bible (or other religious texts).

We aren't talking about politics. We are talking about religion.

Does that somehow make a point equivalent in all relevant fields (this primarily being classification) no longer relevant?

Granted both have a sort of blind, ignorant, and arrogant following.

Both also have very observant, knowledgeable, and modest adherents

Politics were created by man but so was religion so I lose ground on that one.

???

Remember religion, unlike politics, isn't up for debate though.

I don't see why this would be true.

It is absolute truth and God is infallible, right?

Under some few interpretations. So no... right only in those cases.

If one is to question the Holy Book then one is to question the religion itself.

Again, only in some interpretations is this considered a bad thing (and in a number of religions, there are no holy books, ie: Budhism).

Don't believe me? Ask your nearest Fundamentalist Muslim. You can't because it is punishable by death.

Been there, done that. Still alive.

Yes you can Religions, as with political parties, social groups, teams, and really any classification can all disagree over trivialities and still be party to a foundation In example... we have the vegetarians, among them is Hitler. While most of the vegetarians are likely to disagree in a large number of circumstances with Hitler: they all remain vegetarians

Hitler was also a Christian. Can you give me a different example?

???

What does it matter if he is a Christian, Martian, or a slug from the moon? He's a vegetarian.
