Generally speaking I don’t think it is. When people agree with the results for the majority of the corpus but cherry-pick “inaccuracies” to justify their bigot

  I’m confused by this. Christianity, for almost all of its history and in the present, espouses this bigotry as its doctrine, justifying it with the handful of references to homosexuality in its texts. What should be returned by such a search if not these sections? Some specific textual interpretation that elides this reality?

What should be returned by such a search if not these sections? Its a search of the text by the semantics of the text, not a search of the text by how doctrine has been rationalized (which could be done by an LLM, but wouldn't use a vector DB of the text, rather, it would need sonething like a vector DB of documentation of relevant written justifications of doctrine annotated with scriptural references, and then a simple book-chapter-verse DB of the scriptural text.) These are decidedly different problems, and complaining that something that purports to solve the first doesn’t solve the second is... odd.
