I commute to work on a BMX. I didn't want a big mountain bike, so a BMX is ideal and fits easily in the back of my car. The thing is, I'm 32, and get a fair amount of stick for riding a 'kid's bike'. So, am I too old??

By that I mean - People often quote scripture to prove a point, or win an argument - yet the bible also states that menstruating women are unclean and should be kept away from, and that youths who disrespect their parents should be stoned to death. It also states that homosexuality should be punished with death. Surely if you take one comment literally, then you must take all of them literally?

How can a Christian decide which verses are to be followed, or which should be ignored? Or is it simply ignorance and trillions of Christians simply aren't aware that there are many many seemingly bizarre statements within its pages that any right thinking human being would scoff at and ignore.

I'd love to see genuine answers from genuine believers, as it seems to me to be a gaping hole in the validity Christianity.
