They are indeed picking and choosing. However, I’m just contesting the poster above claiming that believers would deny the book being outdated. It’s more like a “you have to interpret the core message of love thy neighbor… And sometimes hate the neighbours we specifically don’t like” kind of thing these days.

Most Christians now accept female priests, gay marriages, fires on Saturday and clothes with mixed fibres. How would they do this without accepting that the book is outdated?

Okay let’s say 500 years ago. Misogyny, slavery and rape were basically just everyday stuff.

Wow people from thousands of years ago were people from thousands of years ago. Checkmate, everyone. I am so smart.

Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make
