"Now, we evangelicals have a nasty habit of throwing the word biblical around like it’s Martin Luther’s middle name. We especially like to stick it in front of other loaded words, like economics, sexuality, politics and marriage to
create the impression that God has definitive opinions about such
things, opinions that just so happen to correspond with our own. Despite
insistent claims that we don’t “pick and choose” what parts of the
Bible we take seriously, using the word biblical prescriptively like this almost always involves selectivity."
