I've never understood why bible fanatics are so fixated on that story, it's one of the bible's most conspicuous flaws.
Edit: When I say "bible fanatics" I'm referring specifically to bible fanatics: people who are obsessed with the bible and view it as the literal word of god. I'm not trying to classify all bible followers as "fanatics", nor do I mean to impart any negative connotation to that word.
If you read it the latter way, it's most likely a projection of your own bias -- either towards excessive political correctness or anti-theism.
