Apologist,
The BOM is, ironically, aimed at fulfilling your name. It is an apologists' effort to explain away all the errors and contradictions in the bible to create a new faith where one is not required to hush the inner voice of reason simply to fit in.
But it failed.
This happens all the time. Can't you see that Christianity itself did exactly the same thing? It took the Jewish religion, mixed in loads of paganism, flouted all the original jewish laws, promised forgiveness and eternal life...
Basically it popularised it.
Religions just get remarketed like this. It happens. Greater numbers means more money for the leaders of the religions. Fewer numbers means less money. Less money means less power. Less power and money means "Oh Christ we're going under, we'd better get more liberal to attract more suckers!"
