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

Let's work backwards. We all have choices we can make. I can choose to type this sentence or not. But some choices have moral consequences tied to them. I can choose to type a racist sentence or not. Cutting to the chase, A&E can morally choose to not break the rule given to them, much like we try not to break the law.
The "moral consequence" of disobeying god was..if the story is to be believed, being cursed by same-said god.  Does that speak to mans morality or gods?  

Quote:Yes, since God created the thing over which authority is in question.
Il;m not sure that makes something an authority, let alone a moral authority.  I "created" my children...hopefully they realize that my word isn't the last word...that I can be wrong and/or just plain nuts.  Just like I realized with my folks.  This is just a ridiculous concept of ownership.  I reject the concept of ownership /w regards to human beings.  No one owns them regardless of whether or not they "created" them.  How about you?

Quote:Being God.
....so, no grounds at all.

Quote:Oops! 
I know right?

Quote:Apparently an awareness of one's nudity.

Is that a moral issue with moral consequences?  If I took my pants off right now..does that make me a good or a bad person? What are the consequences of nakedness, or awareness of nakedness?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
