You are trying to defend the indefensible. There is no way any one can justify the religious fanaticism and/or the absurdities int he so-called holy books. So pl come out of the religious dogmas. This is applicable to the believers in other faiths also. Any one can find any number of loopholes in the faiths and pose questions (abusive and non-abusive also).
If your religion is good, you practice the same. We have the freedom to believe in any god and not to beleive also.
