Rather, you shouldn't expect them to be consistent with what you deem their position to be.

If you have information that you believe to be the divine architect of reality, with commandments that are supposed to be the ultimate in moral goodness, all contained within what's supposed to be the backbone of your religious beliefs, and you pick and choose which of those you want to follow, then you are being inconsistent with your position. Either you don't really believe in the moral or factual accuracy of the commandments, or you don't care about the authority of the source. Either way, the potency of your religion is now reduced, by the fact that you've deemed yourself the arbiter of your supposed religious instruction.

Far be it from me to say whether they are or are not a True Whatever, but what I will say is that they aren't comporting themselves in a manner consistent with the claimed origins of the information they accept.
