The Bible: A Moral book?!

I give them credit for exploring their ethical principles to their logical extremes. In this case logic collides with most people’s innate moral sense. It should give pause to anyone that thinks our instinctive moral sense has a logical basis. In this case do we trust logic or our innate moral sense? Perhaps they can be reconciled. But I don’t see how.
