Pat Robertson says it's ok to ignore parts of the Bible.

RE: Pat Robertson says it's ok to ignore parts of the Bible.
@Brian37. I agree with your statements. I particularly liked the Superman analogy.

As for my post I was referring to how the doctrine I mentioned is used in churches. There can be a difference between doctrine the church says it believes in and how it is used (the difference, I suppose between theory and practice). The Slavery doctrine, as it is used or practiced, gets people to willingly give up their will and thus can make them do shit for the pastor. It's even better when a pastor can get people to convert people for him. He can get his congregation to do his work for him. This is why the doctrine is preached often. It's a good doctrine for manipulation.

BTW sorry for the typing errors in my last post. I didn't proofread before I posted. Also I hope I'm not sounding too sexist here, as you know most fundy pastors are male. They have to ignore an important (not important for me, important for them) part of their doctrine to put women in these positions.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
