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.
How can you point out an inconsistency without "cherry picking"? Thats literally how you find them
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.
So you want a meme page to be a university research paper?
Because thats where you will find that sort of information.
Like here lets use something from the GET page
This is cherry picking to point out what sometimes happens but isnt universally true.
Are you saying the admins are in the wrong for not having a detail discussion and analysis on the situation?
Or are you going to pull the stick out of your sandy ass vagina and realize its a low effort satire for a moment of amusement?
You would also be cherry picking by your own argument continuing the cycle of ignorance you despise just because.
Unless you have a detailed analysis of Atheists Im unaware of.
The difference is that one is satire. The other seeks to be taken seriously.
The religion is satire?
Atheist Republic desperately posts terrible arguments as a means of trying to be taken seriously.
GET is satirical and knows that what they are posting is meant to be comical.
Your comparison is illogical.
Anything on social media generally isnt meant to be taken seriously
Thats reserved for .org or .edu sites
Hence why those sites can be used in school papers and for research and reference.
They might be serious but they arent to be taken seriously.
You are literally cherry picking atheists facebook page to discredit them all.
Again unless you have some huge reference guide on atheism that Im missing?
Yes... and Atheist groups are still a laughing stock to this day.
They post the same arguments and do the exact same thing as most other Atheist facebook pages because Atheism, in general, has lost any sort of ability to formulate arguments.
The basic argument Im getting here is that Atheists are a laughing stock because they dont do research and you found this out purely from Facebook. I guess its easier to see hypocrisy when you embody it so well. Again unless you have done your research, third time saying that.
No, I've pretty much consumed most of the media - from Youtube to Facebook to the websites - and I can safely say that they are a laughing stock.
Which again isnt serious. So you are accuse them with no research of accusing you with no research. You could have defaulted to atheists who feel their superior simply because no religion are annoying as shit. But you doubled down doing exactly what they did that upsets you. Facebook and youtube isnt a reputable source. Unless you are omitting the theoretical literature and research papers you read. You have yet to cite an athiest source that would be comparable to the bible you want them to read. You are getting it from secomd hand and unreliable sources.
