I love it when narrowminded hate mongers try to take on an educated, intelligent writer. It is always very entertaining. *g*
As the daughter of a retired pentacostal preacher, I so agree with your points here. I love the example of Lot. He is always held up as a righteous man, but he was really horrible.
The Bible is flawed. It was written by men and translated by men who all had their own faults and could easily sway the words to fit their own beliefs.
I always want to tell people like this, "I don't write this to convert you. This is for fun. If you don't like, go away and stop trying to convert me. It's not going to work."

Excellently said. You made my day.
