And you refuse to question this fundamentalist mindset because without it you could not justify your anti-religious bigotry.
Who's fault is it that your scripture has to be so liberally-interpreted so as not to sound like an instruction manual for psychopaths? I didn't write the thing, and I have no interest in trying to explain how, when God is frothing at the mouth at his assembly of marauding killers to go through a town and slaughter women and children for the crime of living in a place where a few people pissed God off for some completely arbitrary reason, that it's actually an expression of God's justice and mercy and love. I value my brain cells too highly for that.
