Yet, all those lines are still in the book they worship by. Why doesn't "modern" cafeteria Christianity just disavow the entire Old Testament? It's chock full of testimonies that make the Christian God seem like the pettiest of sociopaths. These aren't the parts you're likely to hear in a Sunday sermon. It's all part of the Christian Heritage--just like the crazy Uncles in everyone's family closet. They don't talk much about them, but have to acknowledge their existence if pressed. A wholesale disavowal raises more theological problems then it solves. To an outsider this seems highly illogical, but to the faithful its all part of the "their" religion--which is trying to adopt to the times. If you attack them on this they will acknowledge the inconsistencies, but say it is not part of their religion's core message.
