How about pick and choose for war? Did Jesus not say to love your enemies and do good to those who would harm you? How do you justify going to war from that? War is justified in the Old Testament, it is not part of Christian principle but we do it anyway - we don't trust God to protect us, we have to do it ourselves.
How about pick and choose for transportation? Many more die in auto accidents than in mass transportation but we want to drive our cars so we ignore the cost in death.
Almost everyone picks and chooses - if they have the opportunity. Some even choose to forget that the founders of this country left England because of religious persecution.
Good luck to you.
He told us to love our enemies and to do good to those who would harm us, but when the centurion in Capernaum (Matthew 8:5-11) asked Him to heal his servant, he marveled at the cenurian's faith & didn't tell him he must first quit his job, because all wars were immoral.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. At the end of the Last Supper, "And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And He said unto them, It is enough."
When they came for Him, he asked them why they were coming armed, as they would for a thief, which implies that it is acceptable to use arms when dealing with thieves.

Weak argument, less you're trying to say that the majority of those who drive cars do so to cause the deaths of innocents.
