I'm trying to reconcile the aforementioned profession of strong sincerity of belief with the ultra-cafeteriaism prevalent in the US religious community.
How sincere and strongly felt can such beliefs be with such intense. brazen and pervasive cherry picking of which scriptures are applicable for those in the flock, which ones are required to be observed by all other Americans (regardless of their personal creed and/or faith or unfaith) by force of law, and which scriptures can be TOTALLY ignored ???
