I love parts of the bible I agree with and ignore the inconvenient parts!
the whole love thy neighbour and golden rule thing are great! it totally gives me a sense of moral superiority to act like im following some sort of unique and innovative religion even though most of the things like the golden rule and ten commandments are not only part of human social nature but had long before been set out in other cultures!
But when im not telling others how they just aren't "open" to my feeling and faith based religion. I love cherry picking parts I dislike and that would be inconvenient to life as a moral person. like one of the commandments that tells me to put to death anyone who blasphemes! or the parts about not eating shellfish or wearing clothes of more than one material! those would just be soooo inconvenient to follow and I personally dislike them
Or the plethora of pro slavery passages in both the new and old testament. Those parts are fairly inconvenient to my life. and since following them would make me a reprehensible person I just choose to ignore them! while also simultaneously claiming god is the ultimate law giver and all humans should follow him and his rules.
I get the best of both worlds this way! follow the passages I like. ignore the ones I dont. claim others who ignore god go to hell. but then claim I can just ask for forgiveness when I die and all is forgiven! yayyyyy loopholes!! yay me!
