Cherry Picking the Bible? Are Christians Expected to Follow the Levitical Laws?
Very frequently, the Christian claim that the Bible provides valuable information on morality, including sexual ethics, is met with the objection, “But aren’t you cherry picking the Bible?

The post is as follows: Ready to go support the cause? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters. Today is what we call Chick-Fil-A Day. It is a day where we will go to our local Chick-Fil-A's in response to the animosity they have received for their views on the family. Please note this at the start. Chick-Fil-A is not anti-gay.
