Good Faith, Hateful Religious Passages, and Prosecutorial Discretion

If someone were literally invoking a passage from in this case the Bible,

but there are other religious texts that say the same thing. Uh, and and somehow can say

that this is good faith. I mean, clearly there are situations in these texts

where these statements are hateful, they should not be used to invoke, uh, or be

a defense, and there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges.

Uh, I just want to understand what your notion of good faith is in this context

where there are clearly passages in, uh, in religious texts that are clearly hateful.
