"Pick and Choose" Christians

recently more and more Christian believers are saying that they believe in parts of the bible or their faith , but agree that some parts of their faith are not literal, just figurative. I call these people "pick and choose" Christians, because they only believe what they think is right- literal, and disregard the rest as just stories.

I have a huge problem with these "pick and choose" Christians.
How can you only partly agree with parts of your religion and not the rest, and still call your self a follower of that religion. In regards to religion, dont you have to take it or leave. Isnt it all or nothing? It makes no sense to decide that some parts of your religion are wrong, but to still believe in the rest. If you dont believe in one part of your religion or Bible.......then would you be implying that the part you dont believe in is wrong.........and wouldnt that logically loose creditablity in your eyes on your own religion.

According to the Association of Religious Data a poll conducted on beliefs of the origin of man, 41.9% of the U.S. population believe that Man has evolved, but God guided.

If you dont believe in Adam and Eve, then your not following your religion, your creating some kind of hybrid science religious view, which goes agaisnt the tradition and foundation of the bible.

I dont know, i guess i can understand how people can believe in evolution, which goes agaisnt the bible (word of God), and still believe that God had something to do with evolution.

Shouldnt you have to believe in every part of your religion in order to call your self a member?

hi
i get what you're saying, but there is an inherent contradiction in your position. you see, everyone picks and chooses. and if you personally do not pick and choose, then it is because you have allowed somebody else to pick and choose for you.

religion is not all or nothing, my friend. if it was then all present day practitioners of every religion would be disqualified.
humans are thinking beings. we live, not in the texts of the scriptures, but in a world with new problems and dilemmas. our beliefs evolve so that we can cope in a constantly changing world.
