" If you say you live by the word of God, you can't treat the Bible like a pick and choose buffet."
No...such disregard would be unhealthy. But so too would be to try to eliminate any critical evaluation of what passages mean. I find it very frustrating to see people argue against a fundamentalist strawman, and then claim it's the only legitimate Christianity. I should know...i used to do it myself.
The point i'd like to make is that Christianity is not unthinking acceptance...saying the Bible is scripture will not make it a self-interpreting document. Do not be careless with it, that's for sure. But do not be thoughtless, either.
