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

2018-07-03 01:03:49 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:04:14 UTC  

Its pointing out the hypocrisy of the religion

2018-07-03 01:04:23 UTC  

By being hypocritical yourself.

2018-07-03 01:04:31 UTC  

That's the problem.

2018-07-03 01:04:36 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:04:48 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:05:05 UTC  

No you aren listening

2018-07-03 01:05:09 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:05:19 UTC  

Atheist are not cherry picking their own beliefs

2018-07-03 01:05:54 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:06:03 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-03 01:06:16 UTC  

Which they accuse Theists of doing.

2018-07-03 01:06:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:06:32 UTC  

Ehzek, two lefts don't make a right.

2018-07-03 01:06:37 UTC  

You are argueing false equivalence

2018-07-03 01:06:41 UTC  

No.

2018-07-03 01:06:48 UTC  

I am arguing for consistency.

2018-07-03 01:07:01 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:07:31 UTC  

They arent cherry picking their religion

2018-07-03 01:08:05 UTC  

That is what they are accusing theists of.

2018-07-03 01:08:55 UTC  

No.

2018-07-03 01:09:05 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:09:17 UTC  

Whichbis their text

2018-07-03 01:09:26 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:09:50 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:10:24 UTC  

Except it points out the discrepancy in the relgion

2018-07-03 01:10:36 UTC  

No because it is increduous most of the time.

2018-07-03 01:10:47 UTC  

Then how should they do it

2018-07-03 01:10:50 UTC  

I've actually bothered reading the Bible.

2018-07-03 01:11:04 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:11:23 UTC  

Instead, they should actually focus on the bigger picture.

2018-07-03 01:11:51 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:12:32 UTC  

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

2018-07-03 01:12:58 UTC  

How can you point out an inconsistency without "cherry picking"? Thats literally how you find them

2018-07-03 01:13:58 UTC  

By not taking one passage and running with it and, instead, taking larger sections or entire books, in their entirety, and then analyzing them in detail to see what they describe and whether they actually fit in with other books.

2018-07-03 01:14:35 UTC  

So you want a meme page to be a university research paper?

2018-07-03 01:15:13 UTC  

Because thats where you will find that sort of information.

2018-07-03 01:16:37 UTC  

Like here lets use something from the GET page
