All right, just so I'm clear: Christians now pick and choose which parts of the Bible they follow?
Or do you just pick and choose among the teachings of Jesus that you like?
Welcome to the Church of Whatever the Hell We Feel Like! Everyone is has a home here, because you can pick and choose the parts of the Bible that you like!
I like this 21st Century Christianity: it's like a Biblical cafeteria plan!
Boy, I spent four years with the Jesuits, and this is a LOT better than what they taught...
The Jesuits are already getting their comeuppance from this Pope but they will outlive him. See how he canned their American magazine editor.
As to your cafeteria Christian charge: Based on what you say, (based on what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, no Christian could fight to defend his country.
I'm not the world's greatest theologian but I would have to say that of all the advice Jesus gave, all the rules he laid down, this one that you chose is probably the most ignored of all.
