The people that wrote the book liked their prose, even though they aren't particularly good at it. They like to present their ideas with a bit of a flourish. So, saying that the "man lays with a man as he would with a woman" section doesn't make sense, or only precludes anal sex just seems a bit like reaching to me. It also seems like a waste of time. Because you are basically saying that the text actually does lay out the ways in which a person should live their life, but it isn't being interpreted correctly. It doesn't. It's drivel. That should be the focus. Not the interpretation.

As a matter of practicality it's easier to make the world slightly less shit by convincing people not to take the hateful aspects seriously than it is to convince them that the whole thing is crap.
Well, different people respond better to different approaches.
