14. Their interpretation is not unreasonable.

They're not making shit up, those passages are in there. They're almost certainly sincere in their Christian faith. They're genuinely trying to follow the instructions in this book.

It's the source material itself that is rotten, as you pointed out. It creates confusion about what is right and what is wrong, and it inspires good people to do evil things. But, they don't see it that way. They honestly believe the opposite is true.

All of that is why we don't want them imposing their rotten religion on us under color of law. If that makes them feel persecuted, so be it.
