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.

It’s not cherry picking to recognize who was talking to who, and whether or not their words should be taken as divine instruction to each individual who reads them. It’s just using your head instead of letting religious authorities put onerous demands on the populace. Jesus said love your neighbor as you love yourself and do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. Anything that contradicts that is obviously not to be taken seriously.

Old Testament divine commandments
Those were conditions of the covenant God made with the nation of Israel. They have nothing to do with Christianity.

Sure, but in this case what they cherry-pick is the part of the recipe that involves adopting the dog, while styling themselves as authorities on cooking. Then they shoot and cook the dog.

I just don’t see the letters written between first-century house-churches as personal commandments from God to me. What you’re reading is the story of the early believers, not divine instruction.

You misunderstand me. It is my stance on theistic belief that if you cannot honestly answer the sequence of questions I asked, or if the answers conform to known grifter patterns, then they are complete falsehoods not to be taken seriously.
So you can give all the excuses you want and wave your hands around like a Jedi but you have utterly failed the most basic first-line test for defending against charlatans. Goodbye.

You answered one of my questions - the first one. The rest is vague religious nonsensical non-answers.

Which god? Whose interpretation of that god? What would you say this God wants? By what means was this determined?

I edited my initial comment. I did indeed have a weird interpretation born from unfortunate experience and ignorance.

You got me curious sp I looked it up, and you’re right. Apparently it was a campfire song that’s been around since like the 70s? I never heard of it until pinkfong put it on blast. Thanks for the education!

Granted. That still doesn’t make it make sense to tell people that if they don’t know about baby shark they’re bad parents.
