Cafeterian is a slang term (coined by
interweb's Pile) that refers to a theist who claims to be part of a particular religious affiliation (such as a "
Christian"), who picks and chooses select aspects of scripture and dogma to follow, while ignoring contradictory or other scriptures, rules and dogma. They basically select what they want to believe in, not unlike
one would visit a cafeteria and select specific plates of food, while ignoring everything else.
Convenient bastid! This Cafeterian has condensed the entire nature and
history of Christianity into a simple marketable sentence. It's up to us to trust that this
guy somehow has figured the whole of Christianity out.
Sure.
