The glaring problem with his reasoning is that he now has licensed himself to pick and choose not only any part of the Bible he deems to be true but also to make the claim that if you don't agree with him, that you're obviously not one of the truly faithful who knows which parts are truly evil and which parts are righteous.
It's utter horse shit. I find his particular take on the evils of the Bible to be the most repulsive yet because it allows him the "privilege" of judge and jury on even the slightest disagreement with not only outsiders but his fellow believers.
Disgusting! His parishioners have seriously got to be a special class of mindless sheep all their own.
