Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) must stop cherry-picking the Bible otherwise he also needs to admit that he is wearing mixed clothing, telling lies, bearing false witness against his neighbor and about 10 other Leviticus laws he has violated. 1
“Cherry-picking is a logical fallacy, which is when someone chooses to concentrate on the evidence that supports their own perspective. It is the act of choosing and presenting just the evidence that supports a position while omitting the evidence that would support the opposite position resulting in a defect in thinking that undermines the argument.” 2
