If they complain about Theists cherry-picking, then they shouldn't cherry-pick themselves.

If there are flaws in one part it sorta deyracts from the message for the outsiders

No, this is me observing how Atheist groups and pages work.

Whats being accused is that Theists cherry pick what they follow in their own religion

However, Ehzek, that doesn't justify Atheists doing the same thing.

But what is cherry picked by athiest is still part of the religion regardless

If you accuse someone of cherry-picking, you shouldn't cherry-pick regardless.

If you do, you are no better than the person you accused and, if anything, you look worse than the person you are accusing.

Its pointing out the hypocrisy of the religion

By being hypocritical yourself.

That's the problem.

What you are basically saying is that they shouldn't point out the hypocrisy..

If you're being hypocritical yourself, your argument is invalidating itself.

No you aren listening

"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."

Atheist are not cherry picking their own beliefs

Ehzek, but they are cherry-picking from the Bible to make their point.

Yes

Which they accuse Theists of doing.

Hypo critical would be if there was an atheist bible and they cherry picked that

Ehzek, two lefts don't make a right.

You are argueing false equivalence

No.

I am arguing for consistency.

If you are going to argue against a religion, don't do the thing you accuse your enemies of doing.

They arent cherry picking their religion

That is what they are accusing theists of.

No.

They are accusing Theists of cherry-picking from the Bible itself.

Whichbis their text

They argue that Theists cherry-pick from the Bible to validate their points.

If an Atheist cherry-picks from the Bible to validate their points, then that is no better than the Theist doig it, Ehzek.

Except it points out the discrepancy in the relgion

No because it is increduous most of the time.

Then how should they do it

I've actually bothered reading the Bible.

Half of the stuff they cite is heavily doctored to fit their needs.

Instead, they should actually focus on the bigger picture.

If they want to criticize religion, they should focus on where inconsistencies lie.

As they are acting now, they're a laughing stock to anyone who has a Bible by their side that they can cross-reference.
