Put it down again to the ubiquitous weirdness of the Bible?
Does "put it down again to the ubiquitous weirdness of the Bible" mean "once again put aside the ubiquitous weirdness of the Bible"?
Background info:
Look it up in Judges 19: 29. Let's charitably put it down again to
the ubiquitous weirdness of the Bible. This story is so similar to that
of Lot, one can't help wondering whether a fragment of manuscript
became accidentally misplaced in some long-forgotten scriptorium:
an illustration of the erratic provenance of sacred texts.

"once again let's say it is caused by the ubiquitous weirdness of the Bible" Consider these simpler examples. eg Tom always eats too much. I put it down to his family's lack of food when he was a child eg Mary didn't congratulate me on my promotion.
