I wonder where I can where The Bible states where you can choose which rules you want to follow. I asked my world religons teacher about this and he said either Deut. or Numbers. I'd love to show some people I know that claim to be strict christians this XD.

if you're able to pick which parts of the dusty book are relevant and which are not, it only proves that you don't need religion to know what's right or wrong for you.

Probably the same reason the state of Missouri has the little weird bit at the bottom. When states where being surveyed, sometimes people wanted to be included in certain states, so at places they'd leave a sign saying "Barrel of whiskey x miles south" to bribe the officials to put that section in a certain state. With regard to the bible, people probably bribed rules they wanted in to it for some personal reason.

Of course, why should one pick the 'better' lessons from the bible? To me the whole point of following stuff from the bible is because it is divinely inspired, so why are some lessons 'better' than others? On what grounds can you say one biblical lesson is 'good', and another 'bad'? You can't, unless your criteria for choosing is non-biblical, in the end defeating the purpose of the divinely inspired lessons.
