People are going to have interpretation of scripture. My problem is when others interpret our scripture and do a real bad job of it. I think the Muslims probably feel the same way today.

For me, other than the obvious problems with Craig’s interpretations, is that it turns people away from God and that bothers me. God is more often merciful than not in scripture.

As to these passages, Judaism recognizes the difficulties with passages like these and looks to understand them. That’s why we’ve documented 1000s of years of discussion about them.
