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

RE: How can a Christian reject part of the Bible and still call themselves a Christian?
Hmm. God is willing to wipe out nearly the entire planet with a flood because "people were bad" but he is too much of a pussy to figure out how to convince his stone age sycophants to stop raping girls, keeping slaves, and eating shrimp? Is that how entire societies can lay claim to salvation while performing horrible acts upon neighboring people?

GOD: I will smite thee for thine immoral activities!
HUMAN: But... it's our culture!
GOD: Oh, okay. Carry on!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
