Because the inner spiritual significance of the Word remains closed to you, you blaspheme against it. The Word opens up when approached with humility and receptivity to the Spirit of Truth. It could do that for you if you let it.
This is a great way to avoid actually having to consider the opinions of others; "Oh, the truth is there, you just refuse to see it." What a fantastic way to close yourself off from ever having to consider dissenting opinions, strawman anyone who disagrees with you, and cover up for the inconsistencies and immoralities of your holy book.
In one sentence you've managed to shut down any hope of a rational and sane discourse in the most passive aggressive way possible. Congratulations on finding the brakes on rational and measured discussion. Great job.
