Well, we've seen in this thread that at least one christian doesn't (in truth a huge branch of christanity, catholicism) -actually- grant the book any specific significance. If that's not the clearest answer to how a person can reject part of the bible and still be a christian I don't know what is.
The bible is an afterthought that they hold up as a shield, only when they talk to people who disagree with their interpretations of what they think is in there. They don't live their life by it. They don;t even know what's in there. Few ever read it....preferring, instead, to have it's contents and their "true meaning" or -any- specific significance to any specific verse, relayed to them by holy men..or, in some and this fantastic instance, a ghost.
Sure, they say it's really important, but they say alot of shit, don't they...and we don't believe all of the shit they say?
