Georgia Parents Torture Adopted Daughter, Say They Were Just Following The Bible

148. Far be it from me

to leave you wallowing on the floor with your excuses:

But you seem to be saying either that Jesus was a liar, that he was very confused, contradicting himself constantly, or that you have no clue whatsoever which (if any) of the statements attributed to him in the Bible he really made.

And I'm not cherry picking, because I don't believe ANY of it was said by the son of gawd or that ANY of it should be given moral authority just because of that. This simply points out to people who DO cherry pick the nice parts of what Jesus said and ignore the bad parts that they are hypocrites. They have no criteria to judge any of these statements of Jesus as definitely or definitely not having been made by him. Except...gee...their own reason and experience concerning moral principles. Which they then project onto Jesus in the form of cherry picking which statements of his in the Bible they choose to adhere to and which they choose to ignore.



But the point is not about "cherry-picking" quotes. The whole Bible is there for people to read no matter what, so any idiot would know I wasn't claiming that Jesus never said nice things. The point is about cherry-picking what things in the Bible you choose to believe and adhere to and what things (just as valid as heavenly admonitions), you choose to ignore, and then accusing those who pick different things of not being "real" Xstians. I don't choose to believe or adhere to ANYTHING in the Bible simply because it's in the Bible or because Jeebus supposedly said it, so your claim of "cherry-picking" is an epic fail.

Try again. This time with thought.
