Not sure who this was a criticism of but as far as I am concerned, given that most Christians appear to base their belief in the Christian god on their bible, that the Christian bible has this in it and that that part must rationally be rejected is immediate cause to view the rest of the book in the same light (in other words each and every essential claim made within must be subject to critical examination.
It's not that I am, as some claim, a fundamentalist it's that I recognise that if one is going to treat the bible in parts as analogy whilst accepting/rejecting other parts as stated then one must justify why one does that and give rational reasons (and perhaps a methodology) as to why one does so.
