So, you and CC have nothing to back up your jack-legged claim that the NT / Resurrection is fiction. Par for the course with you two.

I'd like to see the viewpoint of people on whether those who cherry pick the parts to believe in their holy books are hypocrites.

They are. Why do you even have to ask?

Their book says one thing, they do the complete opposite on many issues. They are hypocrites. Why do you even have to ask?

You're the one who made the claim it is fiction. Back it up with some facts, instead of your usual evasions.

Much of the scripture was targeted for the people of that time.

With modern toilets, how many people go so many paces (or whatever) away and bury their excrement?

Applying the same logic to other taboos of the times, about the only thing solid is the ten commandments.
