Let The World Know That I Am Yours

I was browsing through Google + looking for some trouble to make and noticed this particular comment on a picture concerning gay marriage. It said:

“I love it when evangelicals/fundamentalists/biblical conservatives try and discuss the Bible. All cherry picking a few texts and ignoring the rest.”

and I couldn’t help but wonder, isn’t that what the loyal opposition does? The scoffers and mockers of the Holy Word of God, aren’t THEY the ones that pick out verses in the Bible to make it seem self-contradictory? They’ll use something from Leviticus, a law for the Jews, and then compare it to something Jesus says in the New Testament, the gospel. The Bible is our… well… Bible, it is our manual, our script, it is our directions to a better after-life, and for an atheist it is what, a waste of paper, a sci-fi work, children’s stories.. etc..? Of course scoffers will not study the Bible as we do because they try to heedfully find these errs or to expose these “fallacies” that they so firmly believe exist. What about us? Are they dismissing our intelligence or our ability to investigate to find truth. Einstein once said: “If you cannot explain something simply, you do not fully understand it”. The gospel can be explained to a child and can be fully understood by a child. Occam’s razor fully supports this but unfortunately, some people just refuse to believe in simple matters because everything they know, allegedly, required a scientific experiment. Excuses such as “I stopped believing when I reached the age of reason” make me giggle. In my opinion, the age of reason is life.
I rarely ever have a point in my rants but If I had to pick one for this, it would be that as Christians, we do not renounce our intelligence and reasoning. To the contrary, as a human being, I reasonably challenge my own beliefs to further my ability to explain something simply, to express my understanding on the subject.
