The Bible is a creation of men, whereas God is a creator of men, so its really an interpretation of what men believe God believes. The Bible should be studied in the context of the time it was written in. It was not written overnight and sections have likely been added, amended, and removed over time.
Saying a sensible thing like this does not fit the narrative of both militantly religious and irreligious people, groups that comprise a depressing percent of people having these discussions. Unfortunate.
