Pfffft. You Christians treat the bible like a cafeteria...believe this,
pick that, ignore those...it's a handy document.


Sort of like how liberals read the constitution.



The Constitution can be interpreted, but how that is done is a matter of
law. That's nothing like interpreting the bible.


How so? Nine people in black robes decide what the words mean in a
huge leap of faith. You only have to look at the total reversals, like
Dred Scott or Schenck to see that.
That is not "a matter of law" as much as a sign of the times.
It is no more so than how people take passages of the bible and bend
them to their current beliefs.
