No sense in debating or arguing with a theist about this subject. They tend to suffer from what is called "cognitive dissonance"... in essence it is when someone's feelings and emotions are tied so tightly to their beliefs that they are will to ignore and deny evidence, facts and even proof that may demonstrate those beliefs to not be true or accurate...
The fact this theist is willing to say "God doesn't damn me for eating pork" just shows how "glibly ignorant" they are of their own holy book. And to claim it's all open to interpretation is just the biggest cop out a theist can have about the atrocities their "all loving god" is responsible for. Right next to: "you're taking it out of context". I'd like to know how to interpret rape and forced marriage to the rapist as a good and righteous thing? I'd like to know, in what context, is owning slaves and beating them as long as they don't die; is to be considered a holy moral value. And stoning to death your bad children for that matter... I could go on but of course they'll use another contradictory argument saying "that's the OT, Jesus changed all that"..... when even Christ himself said not a jot nor tittle of the old laws shall change. And when it's obvious we are, supposedly, still held to these old laws; and Christ is just a conduit for forgiveness for breaking these "laws"..... and which bible indeed, I'd like to know how such a "true message" has accumulated dozens of different "versions" and interpretations of those versions of the same truth....... it may be a good story, and MAY have inspired great things, yet it has also inspired just as many, if not more, deplorable things in history. But till some credible evidence comes up, it'll remain just that; a story.
