Problem solved!
So, when Jesus is saying things they like, and otherwise making sense, he's the really real deal. When he stops making sense, that aspect of him is sketchy bullshit. But not the rest of it. Just the parts they don't like.
I sort of get this from my wife. She's willing to throw out 90% of the Bible to try to keep her world consistent and to absolve God from some of the nastier parts of the Bible. This begs the question: why believe the other 10%?
