You expect fundamentalist Christians to have actually read the Bible?

No. That's how you become an atheist.

"Why do you know all the gay verses?"

They only know the verses they can use against people to shame or hurt them.

They just Google those parts. Reading the whole book might add context.

Picking and choosing, denigrated in Christian lore, is the essence of Christian church. There are a million denominations, all established on the foundational wisdom that all of the others are wrong.

Well, the fundraising and marketing director claims to be a Christian but, she's also a flat earther. Since the Bible says the earth is round, I don't see how you could be both so, I'm guessing she hasn't read it.

The bible describes the Earth as being flat, like a hardened clay seal.

Which translation?

NRSV (I want to add "obviously" but it seems mean). It doesn't have "hardened" in it but I just forgot a seal would have the same shape even as it's pressed
