i know plenty who take bits and pieces from it to shape their journey in life. not sure if thats makes them a plastic christian or not but i don't think us non beliebers should take that angle in the argument (not that you were, it was someone else).
It was me.
I find it hard to believe someone that only believes in half a story. If they only believe in the part of something that suits them then I believe when they are to portray something then they will only portray what suits them, hardly the full scope on something. How's the expression you can't have your cake and eat it.

The Church is built on foundations of hearsay and depictions of people who only portray part of the good book. Ministers, Fathers what ever name they want to go by are happy to preach stories from a book but are quick to tell us not to take all those stories literal, surely one can forgive me for not knowing what stories to take literal and what stories to not.
