There are literally dozens of Christians working very, very hard to rehabilitate anachronistic Bronze Age codswallop by creative means of posthoc justifications. Meanwhile, there are thousands trying to take us back to the glory days of a hinterland kingdom in the ancient Near East. The problem with creative reinterpretation is that Bronze Age nonsense is still there, and anyone not deliberately trying to shoehorn this crap into a preexisting liberal worldview will invariably arrive at a different conclusion.

Because religion is unreliable.
