Something I don’t understand about Chritianity is?

I am a Christian myself and It actually says in the Bible that you can’t eat shell fish and shrimp*, it also says you can’t eat pigs. Then why is that most people do, is it that we pick and choose what parts of the bible to follow.

PS: I’m a Christian myself

*Leviticus 11:9-12 , Deuteronomy 14:9-10
Oops. I said “I am Chritian twice”. Pardon my lack of proof reading.

Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Anti-gays-how do you rely on your Bible now?

An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan officer, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off his scraggly beard His favorite restaurant is casual where they both feel comfortable in slacks and cotton/polyester-blend golf shirts. She wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won’t be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp.
A:
Well, wives are supposed to be ‘submissive’ to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that ‘pertains to a man’ (Deuteronomy 22:5). Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), shaving (Leviticus 19:27) and clothes of more tmore than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). And since the Bible rarely recognizes divorce, they’re committing adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22).

If you believe that the bible is the true word of god, don’t you have to follow EVERY word in it?

…and not just the ones you like, like the supposed condemnation of homosexuality?

Things like the other parts of Leviticus which condemn things like
Eating shrimp
Eating pork
Shaving your beard
Wearing tattoos
Having sex with a menstruating woman (punishable by death)
Not following the sabbath (punishable by death)
Wearing blending fabrics

If you people really think the bible is the true word of god, you MUST follow it completely…100%. It’s not some menu you can order of of a la carte. If you do, you are a screaming hypocrite.
