Do you still sit around trying to justify Greek Mythology?
If not, then why sit around trying to justify Hebrew Mythology?
Why even bother?
I don't think your question was directed at me but the reason I bother is that I am scared of them! The start of Muslim nuclear terrorism is getting close. As well as dangerous Muslims, Christians are dangerous again and the day is nigh when we all get caught in the crossfire/fallout.
If you look at Christian forums you will quickly see that many of them are really looking forward to a new Crusade. They WANT to have a war with Muslims. They hate Muslims and want to kill them and batter them back into the iron age. Even if you explain in words of one syllable that Muslim terrorists kill only a tiny fraction of the number that Christian terrorists kill, they just don't accept that most Muslims are harmless and peace loving. They just want to kill them and, co-incidentally, take their oil as well.
America is obviously the worst problem with a culture that would never elect a senior politician who was not a Christian (or possibly a Jew). What little we can do to educate these misguided/misled people we should do. Preachers have had it all their way for hundreds of years. Most other educated countries have gradually tamed or emasculated their fundamentalists but Americans resist education and extreme ignorance is the rule in many states.
There are of course many thousands of Christians who would very happily kill you for being a witch. That's why I bother.
