There are many similarities between this and [[cafeteria Christianity]], but there are also differences.  For example, in cafeteria Christianity, certain Bible verses are not just ignored; they are also explained away (especially in [[liberal Christianity]]) as "not really being what" the author or speaker said or wrote (i.e., a direct attack on [[Biblical inerrancy]] by a denomination or person who doesn't believe in it). On the other hand, in fast-food Christianity, the church may (at least officially) hold to Biblical inerrancy, but may "de-emphasize" a specific concept (e.g. sin) so as not to offend.
