10. Cherry picking is what the clergy

has been doing with the Bible as long as it has existed. It's like a 1,000 page legal contract. You can find pretty much anything in there you want to find. And I don't care how many people say they have read the entire thing, very few have, and if they have they haven't comprehended it.
