So does this annoy anyone else or is it just me???

It might annoy me a little in a academic sense, but at the end of the day I'd rather live with these guys because they don't abandon their humanity when it's at odds with some archaic aspect of their religion

You don't have to be a literalist to be a Christian. It's perfectly reasonable to "pick and choose" so long as you have a reason for doing it. And if it's a slipperly slope that leads them away from "the flock" ... well I have no problem with that either.
