I wonder if those stories even matter, like they are from a culture so far removed from us (over 2 thousand years) that the lessons probably shouldn't be hard interpreted.

We wouldn't like people to have differing opinions about stuff? Everyone should believe what we believe, think what we think. /s

I have no idea what point you're trying to make, or what I wrote to provoke your angry tone.

All I'm saying is that (for example) if Moses supposedly wrote the first five books of the Bible and he lived circa 1200-1500 BC (as per various estimates mentioned by Wikipedia), but the oldest surviving copy of those books is from 100 BC, that's 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of disproving.

angry tone.

Sarcastic tone, you're reading what I wrote in an angry voice. Try reading with a happy voice. 😉

that’s 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of disproving.

What if that's not the point?

"Oh, but it's not exactly what that person said!"

So what? Taking sentences out of context is bad interpretation anyway, especially if we aren't reading the original language with the original cultural context (again, which was over 2 thousand years ago).

You're arguing for the letter of the law, I'm arguing for the spirit.
