New J&M today, illustrates the "cafeteria" nature of most religious people these days, they pick and choose which parts of their holy books to believe and follow according to local culture and custom. Of course, there are plenty of literalists too who take it all at face value, they are perhaps the bigger problem for civilised society these days, but I can't help thinking that those on the fringes can't help but feel emboldened by the rest.
