The best possible reading isn't yours to determine. At least not for me.
Else, I told you repeatedly that we differed and noted you're not obliged to agree or participate. That's as fair as I think anyone can be...when you meet that with "I'm sorry you don't agree with Scripture" ...literally every zealous member of the Body dividing it begins with that sort or premise. I hoped it would shock you into reconsideration.
That said my rebuke was pretty mild: I'm sorry you won't distinguish between your understanding, a different understanding and the thing itself.
That's why I mostly stake my witness among those in salvific need. I don't have to worry about your salvation, no matter what we think of our different exegesis. You're in the family. The people being misled are drowning in sin. They need to be disabused of the notion that Dawkins and his ilk have a life preserver of rationality.
