i think i get what you mean.
believers (in this case a Christian) MUST blindly give up their own insights into right/wrong and follow that which is dictated in the bible (which is according to them, god's word).
a TRUE christian would follow the bible to a t (as it is literally written). even the parts about raping, killing unbelievers, stoning, slavery, etc. because they have CHOSEN to be slaves to this god that has written this bible as a guide to men to live by.
a CHERRY PICKING christian would only follow parts of the bible in which he/she morally accepts as right or whatever suits their lifestyle or agenda. or find the bible to be allegorical and just a mere suggestion for living.
it is truly dangerous to be a member of any religion because you are basically giving up all your actions, thoughts, and morals to the "word of god" which is written by fallible men.
did i answer your question? or was i on point anyway?
