What I have never understood, is how can you not take the Bible literally and just kind of pick and choice what part to belive or not to believe.<p>How is this process of picking and choiceing from the Bible and 2000 years of Christian history not the same as making up your own morality (as most secularist do).<p>Seems to me, that the only thing &#x27;being Christian&#x27; is (outside of the institution), is that you take some more of your morality from the Bible compared to all other books.<p>What is it that keeps you Christian? Why not just go all the way and look at all books and history to make up your own morality?
