If any interpretation is meaningful, then the book has no meaning.
The book does have meaning, for example it teaches right from wrong, salvation, why suffering occurs, marriage and many other things.
Except if you can interpret the book in any way you like, as you've said, then anything it says about "right and wrong" is utterly relative and largely useless, since two people could reach the opposite conclusion on any given problem. Example: Homosexuality. Some Christians say homosexuality is disordered, some Christians say homosexuality is not a disorder. They both can't be right.
