==Deletion of Examples of Commonly Ignored Bible Verses==
==Deletion of Examples of Commonly Ignored Bible Verses==
I recently edited this article to include some examples of Bible verses commonly ignored by Cafeteria Christians, but my changes were reverted without explanation. Mr. Schlafly, if you read this could you please help me understand why this is? I am quite certain that for each example given, there is a significant number of Americans who either violate the law directly or who tacitly approve of such violation, often without even acknowledging their sins. Is there some nuance in the definition of "Cafeteria Christian" that I am not picking up on, or is the definition not made clear in the article? --[[User:Toadaron|Toadaron]] 13:06, 2 February 2011 (EST)

What about the Christians that don't believe it's o.k. to stone unruly teenagers to death? Or the ones that disagree with the part that says its alright to beat your slave, so long as he doesn't die? Or where it says not to eat shellfish or pork? These things aren't commonly accepted in modern Christianity, but wouldn't that still be cafeteria Christianity? Either the Bible is the word of God, and everything in it should be regarded as true, or it isn't the word of God and it shouldn't be treated as such. If the part condemning homosexuality cannot be disregarded, then these parts cannot either. --[[User:Jab512|Jab512]] 19:56, 25 July 2011 (EDT)
