wasn't brought up under any religious sect - they all seem mega suss to me.

Particularly with reference their habit of taking some parts of their "book" (bible/koran it doesn't seem to matter which) as the exact literal command of God yet other bits of it are not supposed to be taken literally.

Perfect example being played out around the world now by conservative Anglicans and their oft spouted fondness for Levitcus - most bible thumpers will quote Leviticus 18:22 to justify their hatred/discrimination of homosexuals... "that man "shalt not lie with mankind" very few of them also rail against the wearing of blended cloth or working on the sabbath which are also a problem according to the Bible but I don't see anyone toting signs outside 24/7 business telling workers their all off to hell.

Is there a special "preacher guide" to the Bible in which God specifies which bits are literal and which aren't??
