To the original post.
It isn't just Christianity who does this, every religion in the world has followers, and apologists that move the goal posts when you point out contradictions in logic.
I would say regardless, I prefer the follower who waters it down and ignores the not so nice parts of their religion, than those who lean to taking their leaders/writings literally.
Most humans see their religion and religious writings as the core of their morality for good or bad.
I always like to point out when I run into the argument of of morality being handed down from above. If morality were the patent of one religion, or one religious sect, or one holy writing of any religion, then why is it every nation on the face of the planet have both hospitals and prisons?
