The biblegateway contains a hell of a lot, usually linked to the KJV translations. Go knock yourself out.
And this is going to prove objective values in the process huh? Interpretaction is a subjective matter....and the horrible shit in the bible is literally horrible, so how can this be explained away when it's just a subjective interpretation that apparently explains that it's somehow not horrible, or that overall the bible 'must be good' - a totally subjective judgement. For it to at all make sense in a good or bad way overall for sure, you've gotta have a non-subjective interpretation. So you've gotta prove (well, give strong evidence for!) the existence of objective values first then.
I've gave that site a glance before...I can take a look agian, but I'm really not expected it to prove objective values..and that's not what it's there for anyway is it(?) - So how is it going to give an interpretation with any merit whatsoever, if it's just a subjective one that can't dodge all the literal horrors in an unbiast sense therefore (due to its subjectivity).
*shrugs* I'll take a look but I'm not going to pretend to be opimistic, because I'm kind of expecting some subjective interpretations that aren't going to be able to have the amazing power to somehow explain the whole book as being 'good', when there's a load of extremely horrible and unnecessarily ugly, despicable, and barbaric filth in there! Really fucked up immoral shit that literally is that way, doesn't get explained away by subjective interpretation! There would need to be objective values here! And there is no evidnece for objective values...right? Do you agree there?
EDIT: Update! I've read the Biblegateway commentry on the Evils of Genesis 6:7, and correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can see, this interpretation of 6:7 attempts to explain away such evils by saying that they all deserved it because they were sinners?

And regardless of if I am right or not in what it means (and if I am right, to say it's a fucking shitty justification would be a gross understatement!), why should one believe this interpreation over any other? Unlike the literal interpretation that God literally flooded the whole world and killed everything!
