Because my loved ones and I could very easily end up being killed by a war caused by believers? Or doesn't that bother you? On one hand you've got a fundamentalist Christian with his finger on the button in the Whitehouse, and on the other you've got Islamist Middle Eastern nations, who don't fear death AT ALL actively trying to get hold of nuclear weapons. Chuck Israel into the mix and you've one big mess of religious tension and hatred just waiting for someone to make the first move....which is why it matters to me.

How is that ignorant? If they don't accept all the book how can they work out which bits are right and which bits are wrong?
If they don't believe the whole thing then they are, to be frank, bad Christians. If they do, then they are bad humans.
