Translation: I choose to ignore the facts, so stop reminding everyone of them.
The question is very simple: what is the point of the Bible if one can interpret it any way one wants? You can derive no truth from it, or anything else of value. You are just inventing your own truth (as opposed to accepting at face value someone else's invented truth). This is all the sillier when the book itself depicts a god who is exact and demanding and does not tolerate it when people do not do exactly what they are told.
Why is it that we're wrong when we interpret the book as the mad ramblings of stupid and violent men in an ignorant time? What makes that interpretation less valid than anyone else's?
