Well, except when some Christians are talking about gay marriage, or a host of other issues.

They like to selectively apply the Scriptures, and pretend some don't apply any more when it's convenient, don't they?

Are they the only religious prevaricators?

You conflate sin with punishment.

Does the Bible say that homosexuals should be killed?

Not at all. Just pointing out that some cherrypick the OT.

Anyone can make any book fit their agenda. And that's exactly what too many religious people do.

If you're going to talk about Islam, don't get all of your info about it from right-wing blogs.

You can get it from any Muslim who advocates adherence to strict sharia law. Do you really think they just make this stuff up lol.

There's a controversy amongst Islamic jurists over whether sharia should just be based on the Koran or the Koran plus the Hadith. If you want to say the latter group is 'wrong' that's fine. But that doesn't exempt Islam. Strict sharia is nothing more than a pretext to use such barbaric practices as stoning for adultery or apostasy.

There simply is no parallel in contemporary Christianity. The problem for Christians is they have to be free of sin before they can stone anyone.

Per Jesus.

Swing and a miss.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
This represented a distinct shift in the new testement as well as Jesus accepting punishment for our sins.
This is the crux of the new covenant.
Most non Christians don't get it but you don't have to be one.

You're seeing the parallel right on this thread. I have seen MANY Christians argue that the OT is just as much a part of Christianity as the NT, and should be adhered to word-for-word.

It's really the same thing. Trying to differentiate is splitting hairs.

Nah. It's just taking whatever is convenient for your agenda - that's all I've ever really seen w/ the Bible.

Their faith is selective.

Really? Hmm.

I actually know Christians who would differ with that opinion.

Actually, they refer to themselves as having had an Ecclesiastical Bypass, but at one time they took the bible as, "the thing and the whole of the thing."

Because when it comes to Christians, there are all sorts, and they interpret the bible any damned way they want, so long as the interpretation meets whatever agenda they happen to have on a particular day.

By the way, if you want a NT reference for God demanding that those who won't worship and be subjugated to him be killed, you might want to peruse Luke a little. There's one in there.
