No I said that the mistranslated parts are irrelevant details. For example, Noah's flood might not have actually lasted 40 days, but that's irrelevant to the main story, which is love. I feel like I've discussed this before. If not, I'd be happy to make a post about it

The story of the flood is not about 'love', you cannot attach love to genocide.

Interpretation and translation issues aside, you can hardly trust what men who supposedly had divine revelation say about God. The whole point of the argument is that god could much more easily have an active presence in the world without violating free will. He could communicate in much more overt ways than the bible. But you're not listening to that point at all. You're just like "well he did 2k years ago. Why isnt that good enough?"

Why is the chronology of a flood relevant to loving one's neighbour? Why does it matter if the stars or the Earth was created first, when it comes to loving thy neighbour. I don't get it

Why would the divinely inspired word of God give an erroneous number of days?

You called an author a liar, on the basis of absolutely nothing.

Because the bible is much more than just loving thy neighbor?
It has rituals and rules about killing witches, sorcerers, prostitutes, and unborn babies (if it was contracepted from cheating), a "how to" about marry your rape victim, god commanding slaves to obey their earthly masters, god making rules about how to beat your slaves, what kind of foods you can eat, what kinds of drinks you can drink, and about cutting the skin off your penis.
Then you get to the lovey-dovey hippy stuff Christians like to point to when someone brings up something bad.
I have no problems with the "Abrahamic Faiths", but please do not preach this kind of stuff
(OK, rant over, I'm gonna go take a shower)

Again I don't see where any of that means I'm forcing you to post. And I don't see the strawman that you are talking about.

Love. God drowned everyone because he loved them.
