Is it your position that "cafeteria christians" (for example) don't exist? That people of various sects and religious affiliations don't selectively pick and choose from their respective foundational documents?
I'll edit this post to add an answer to your question. You did posit a question first, after all (even if it was a rather preposterous question). In answer -- of course I don't "think everything written in the bible is a good example of morality or decency in behavior." It's a book, a compilation of mythologies, poetry, metaphors, genealogies and popular histories that has been edited, truncated, expanded, and bastardized in translations by fallible authors and editors. But that is kind of the point, isn't it.
