Are you the Bible enforcer? What's with all the insistence that we adopt *your* interpretation?

I'm not insisting on anything. If you don't believe my interpretation, then give me yours. Instead what you are doing is casting doubt upon the veracity of God's word. IMO that is a dangerous thing to do. Better to err on the side of caution than to accuse the Almighty of spreading falsehoods.

Did not God himself write the words on the tablets of stone? Or did Moses make up all that malarkey simply to appease and subjugate the ignorant Israelites?

I think it is very plausible to believe that some elements of the Bible might be true, others might be parable, and still others might have been made up by any number of the men who wrote and re-wrote and re-wrote the Bible.

The "either it's all true or it's all a lie" approach you seem to be advocating is odd to me, considering that at least some of it is acknowledged to be a parable.
