    IIRC cherry picking the Bible was completely fine in Christian fundamentalism, because they considered that the Bible was free from error, every word was literal truth (storehouse of facts even in geology, biology, etc.), and was intended for the reader now as opposed to the reader when it was written (so context isn't needed).
