Depends on what you consider accepting it, but I'm not sure if I could get any numbers for you. I think they're universally "accepted" but the level of dedication to them and their perceived credibility ranges quite a bit. I hope that my nonanswer is satisfactory.

The old testament of the bible is some of the scariest **** ever.

And I absolutely hate Christians that cherry pick. Either the complete bible is your tome or it's not.

I'd way rather deal with Christians who cherry pick and aren't Westboro Baptist types than relatively logical people who are lazy Christians. The former probably have personality disorders while the latter are just kind of lazy. Why would you want to deal with the former?

If you believe in God then the Bible is infallible. Old and New testaments. Read the bible and have your mind turned inside out. Most of that **** is insane.

Any world leader, politician, or court appointee who leans on that crap is not worthy of telling me how I should live my life. Or telling my daughter what she can or can't do. **** that ****.

I mean, yeah, but why would you rather deal with a Christian fundamentalist who believes the Old Testament than a cherry picker who doesn't?

From my (admittedly limited) understanding of Christianity, I thought the New Testament negated the Old Testament.

I know a ****load of theology scholars (also Christians) who disagree with that. It's the majority of them, actually.

I've never seen anything that laid out what still counted from the Old Testament and what was now bogus. I don't think there's really a definitive interpretation that combines the New and Old Testaments in a way that isn't stupid.

I think the golden rule undoes most of the Old Testament.
