The easiest way is to relieve yourself of constantly having to defend something that we all know is wrong. You can do it by understanding that the Bible was written by people a long time after Jesus' time and is highly fallible.
It might be a scary trip down to Atheism or maybe just a relaxation of fundamentalism/literal interpretation.
PS did you know that the Old Testament had God summoning holy bears to ravage children for calling a prophet bald? Yeah. Serious! Read your Bible, it's actually really crazy...
2 Kings 2
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Mathew 13
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Tare is an injurious weed resembling wheat when young.
2 Timothy 3:13
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
