Wow- I have not been following this thread but it certainly has taken a turn.

All I will say is that the Bible like the Constitution is interpreted by people based on the core beliefs the reader already brings with them. Both documents are misquoted often, almost never read within the historical context in which they were written or with the intent of the original writers. Literal interpretations of both usually results in a very narrow path that hurts many people along the way.

I have also learned that you can't change someone's opinion of say the 2nd Amendment anymore than you can change their reading of specific passage of scripture.
