"What makes Lev 18:22 the part you keep and not, oh, Lev 18:19? Who decides that?"
Right, but, like, Evangelical Christians have an answer to that question, don't they? Or slightly different answers depending on the exact group, but it's not like they pick verses out of a hat to give priority to. Evangelical Biblical literalists have a hermeneutics. And the question you propose is "What's your hermeneutics?" It's a fun question to debate, but the only people who ask it as a trap to catch out the believer are atheists who haven't spent much time thinking about the Bible.
