How can a Christian reject part of the Bible and still call themselves a Christian?

[YahwehIsTheWay]

I've often wondered the same thing.

Just consider that Michael Moore and Fred Phelps both consider themselves to be "Christian" and a follower of Jesus and yet they couldn't be worshiping gods that were more different if they tried. So many Christians seem to think they can pick and choose the Holey Word of Gawd as if it were some kind of buffet table.

Many more of them haven't even read the book. Can you imagine? They think this book is THE WORD and yet they haven't found the time to read it. What kind of priorities do these people have? They think the Creator of the entire freaking universe wrote a book and they haven't read it? Even forgetting about the whole salvation-and-torture-for-all-eternity-if-you-choose-the-wrong-god thing, just reading a book written by the Creator of Everything by itself should be enough motivation.

Just as yourselves, those of you heathen-unsaved-future-objects-of-the-righteous-Lord's-wrath, how many of you as atheists have found yourselves explaining to so-called "Christians" what's actually written in their own book? It would be like Christians explaining what Sagan said on "Cosmos" to you, and yet that's more often the case than not.

But instead of reading, never mind hearkening to and following, The Wholly Babble, these liberal sissy-Christians simply create a god that's little more than a glorified reflection of themselves.

Tell me what god you worship and I'll tell you all about you and what you want. That's why when most people talk of "God's will", it always seems coincidentally coincides with their own desires. (footnote paraphrased observation by Susan B. Anthony)

If only these people would just ask me. I'd be glad to tell them what the scriptures really mean. That's why I'm proud to be a True Christian ™ who has read the scriptures and I believe in every blessed word, even the parts that contradict each other and all the parts that make no sense at all.

Glory!
