quoting the bible

it's easy to quote scritpure
the sign shown above shows how we selectively choose our verses
none of us want to accept and use all of the bible
we use only those parts that we want to
of course there are ways of explaining which parts
are still in play and those that are not
we conveniently nullify those parts that we don't want to follow
i don't follow all of the bible and no one else does either
our bias comes out when we decide which parts to ignore
fundamentalists who belief every verse literally
literally ignore many verse
yes, they explain how they decide
we can always find a way to explain our cut-and-paste methods
when we say 'the bible says,'
we really mean 'my version of the bible says'
you want to follow everything in the bible?
good luck
