Yes but there is a difference between statements about Yahweh,

[Warren Stupidity]

a character in a book, and statements about god. We can look in various versions of the bible, as we can look in Moby Dick, and find evidence for or against statements about Yahweh, as described in various versions of the bible. It is those statements in the various versions of the bible themselves, that purport to be truthful assertions about a metaphysical entity, that are the problem. They are not subject to rational evaluation. We can say "the bible says god hates all homosexuals"', and that is equivalent to a statement such as "in the book Moby Dick, the character Ahab is hunting a giant rabbit". Both statements can be rationally evaluated based on physical evidence. "God loves all of us" on the other hand, is a statement in a different category.
