Well, I am not dismissing them. You are straw manning me. I can point out things on how the text disagrees.. by showing mistranslation and context. Bit. for all the claims for being an atheist... you are approching the text with a very christian attitude and preconceptions about the texts.
Claiming that God was talking to Solomon is not "showing misrtranslation and context". It's just substituting your own personal interpretation for the Christian one and then defeating it - that's strawmanning.
If you want to honestly debate, you'll have to start with the premise that God was speaking about Jesus and disprove that through text and scholarly work. Or, you could start with your own claim and provide scholarly evidence.
Ultimately, no Christian will accept your interpretation over that of thousands of Christian scholars. The best you can do is provide something more meaningful than "I think he was talking about Solomon, and I can prove Solomon was not perfect".
