Oh well. I'm willing to drop this if we're talking past each other, as it was a side point to the OP, anyway.
It was indeed a rhetorical question, highlighting the chasm of interpretation between accurate representation, and the deliberately inaccurate, like the skeptics annotated bible, for example.

From our interpretation of what is moral. Not theirs.
Esq, we've had this conversation before. I don't believe you have no memory of it. Your stance is that killing babies, for example, is most definitely immoral. Yet you can provide no reasoning to support the notion that your knowledge can be equal to that of Gods. You cannot fairly judge without that knowledge. That's where we left it. I'm not about to repeat that whole pointless argument with other variables, because you need to answer the challenge that covers all variables.
