It’s cherry picking because it’s choosing which pieces of the bible to give credence to and which to ignore based on preference.

Absolutely not. You can give 100% credence to the bible without the idea that every single word of it is a personal commandment from God to you.

Paul was chosen as God’s chosen vessel

I don’t agree. How do you now that? By what means was this determined?

Jesus did say to love thy neighbor, yet it is easy to find examples of God condoning slavery and demanding genocides.

No, it’s easy to find stories where people claimed God condoned those things. You seem to be taking a fundamentalist approach to scripture here, and it’s an approach I just don’t agree with. It’s based on traditions created and perpetuated by the sickest, most evil, lying, stealing, child-raping people throughout history. Why the fuck would you take their word for it?

Anyway nice talkin to ya, have a nice day.
