Selective Quotations

There is a question that always bothers me when I hear theists rant about one social issue or another while quoting the bible to support their various positions. Have any of these people ever actually READ the bible? I know that they are well versed in certain passages, the ones that specifically support their particular cause of the day, but have they even CONSIDERED the passages that might throw any doubt on their position. Do they even know that such passages EXIST?? If so, why do they ignore them?

Now I don't hold any faith in the bible as the word of god but THEY obviously do, so why the selective cherry picking? Could it be that they are being less than honest *gasp* regarding what their good book says, or are they blinded by their hate?

Just asking ....
