Well it sounds like we agree, if in fact you are stating:
You dont claim to be a devoted christian, therefore you are not twisting the bibles intent to satisfy your own need, rather adopting beliefs from multiple sources to build your own philosophy on life and how to live it.
I am hitting on the subject of people who claim to be of a particular religious faction that only acknowledge the doctorine in their chosen religion and disregard that which they dont like. For instance, everyone is familiar with Fornication, Adultery, etc. I have run into people who ignore those as sins listed in the bible because it doesnt fit into their lifestyle but still claim to be what they are.
