It confuses me how some religious people can pick and choose what they want to believe in. Surely you don't have a choice?

I have lots of family and friends who are religious. Infact I was brought up a christian and went to a C of E primary school. One thing I notice a lot is how they pick and choose what they want to believe and what they don't want to believe. Is this common amongst christians and catholics in this country?

Are you still catholic if you have sex before marriage? Are you still a christian if you're gay? How can you be catholic and believe in horoscopes? Is it possible for you to believe in evolution and still be religious? Or be a big science fiction nerd? :D Or even follow a religion created by a big science fiction nerd?

Indeed, Karl Marx was an evolutionist and a communist, therefore all evolutionists are communists. Brilliant

The sad thing is there are lots of Americans (well not just Americans) like this today. I remember watching some debates on TV here and it wasn't so different. I wonder if its on YouTube aswell.

This reminds me of a late night debate show with on ITV (might have been just Central). Lots of people shouting their opinions at each other with that guy from WatchDog (Nick Something) trying to calm everyone down.

That does ring a bell. Was there an episode with soap actresses, being told by fat blokes that their jobs where basically useless (as apposed to only appearing on topical shows that are so bad they can only be broadcast when no one's likely to watch them). My favourite was lottery winners, being by others that they where in fact poor, because they didn't have religion in their lives.
