[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1821207, member: 2189"] There's the rub. There are christians who want to cherry pick or privilege some verses while ignoring many others. Many verses completely contradict one another. There are good christians (not enough) who understand the history of how we got the texts, the surrounding cultural contexts and other events that answer many of the contradictions however this also undermines the entire idea of literalism and the absolutism of "this is the perfect word of god" idea. Thus these christians don't buy into this dogma and thus are able to bring the best of what christianity can offer to the table without the bronze age baggage that the literalists drag around like a millstone chained to their neck.
