Its just like the use of selective interpretation of the Koran by both the radical Islamists and the Western world while trying to promote the concept of violence as being inherant to Islam vs getting stupid young men to strap a bomb to their chest so they can get to paradise.
The Simpson's had a great quote where Lisa asked REv Lovejoy to show her where in the bible it stated that gay marriage was bad, and he quiped that it was somewhere in the back.
As a smart guy I can turn any argument based on the segregation of facts from a source or a book as long as your too lazy to read it.
I can probably argue if I worked hard enough that the bible says that its preferable to plow a horse as oppossed to another man. I mean seriously Noah built a boat to house two of each type of animal, yet the only other man on that boat was his son.
Throw in some stuff about Sodom, cook it at 350 degrees and viola, doing a horse is preferable to a man.
