How DO you decide which passages to follow and which to ignore, if they ALL come from God?

And, like I said, I'm not Christian. I don't follow the Bible in any way, and I fully admit that I'm a relativist (meaning I don't have any specific rules for what's right or wrong), so I don't need an excuse to do whatever I want, I just do it. I don't hide behind a book or an organization.
