As for the Bible saying other than what it reads, we don't believe what the Bible says, and are therefore not forced to agree with the obvious bias inherent in the narrative. You're asserting that there are correct and incorrect ways to interpret the Bible, which is another assertion you can't justify.

You don't have to believe it to be able to read the words mate. You just have to be able to read. "Ryan says he raped a woman yesterday in the post above" amounts to pretty much what you're saying. It's just nonsense.

I can and do justify correct interpretation. You need to try to be as accurate as possible. It's not beyond our capabilities to piece together the cultural influences and language used to make accurate summations. Or do you think that these ancient people were superior in intelligence?

You're saying you refuse to think Ryan. That's what I mean. Where do we go from there? There is no conversation.

I asked you to ask a question about something. You asked a new and unrelated question so diverting the subject.
Me: what's 1 + 1?
You: what's not 1 + 1?
Me: everything but the answer. What's 1 + 1?

I didn't say he "does" judge fairly (a point of deeper investigation, but we can't get that far). I said he "can". Do you accept that point or not?

God doesn't need to prove anything to you for you to accept or deny the above logical point. Support your reasoning and let's move on.
