They don’t even do that. Cherry picking requires an understanding of the source material
They regurgitate whatever they were told. Whether that is their pastor on sundays who tells them about the importance of turning the other cheek and proving they are better than those damned dirty gays by donating to the collection plate or the lunatic on facebook posting about how god said white christian men have the biggest dicks.
One of the biggest things that stuck with me: I was your bog standard shithead kid. Read the bible and read the quran just so I could prove I knew better. Got into an argument with one of the holy roller rich kids. Regurgitated bible verses to prove them wrong (because I was cool…). They had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Which just, again, stuck with me. They were obsessed with this book and knew nothing about it whereas I had skimmed it in between masturbation sessions and could actually point out the flaws.
