It's convenient when we can cherry pick what we want isn't it?
After being a Christian for about the first 17 of my 29 years I have definitely come to the conclusion that it is all the biggest bunch of horse shit ever invented, and the whole moral compass argument can be replaced by "don't be a dick to one another" and that has nothing to do with religion
I do respect the right for others to believe what they want though so I'm not about to go try changing anyone's mind
I'm not religious at all, but my understanding of Christianity, from my exposure to RI at school and my reading, was that the New Testament brought to the world by Christ was supposed to supplant and replace the Old Testament. So it is just a little puzzling when some people who appear to regard themselves as Christian cling to the bits of the Old Testament that suit their prejudices.
