How and why can people ignore their God’s immoral ways?

Hence, is it possible that the perception of the Christian deity as "having no gray areas" may actually be indicative of the limitation of the human mind to comprehend actual gray areas that exist within such a highly advanced being?


  A being that is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and eternal can't have gray areas, these attributes give God total knowledge of all things through all eternity. This is what man will have an impossible time understanding. So no I do not see a slight possibility that God would have or deal with gray areas. Thanks for asking reasonable questions.

I appreciate the time you've taken to answer my questions, and I would like to clarify that it is not my intention to be thick or difficult. With that said, from my vantage point, the part in bold seems to be a product of faith and the human mind's attempt to make sense of a concept (the god concept in this case). Thus, given the limitations of the human mind's ability to gain a complete understanding of reality, how can you be sure that the sense-making processes and concepts in bold are in strict accordance with the facts of our reality? How would you be able to tell the difference between a deity who has no gray areas and a deity who possesses gray areas that are incapable of being perceived by the human brain?

P.S. Out of curiosity, is your deity capable of experiencing gray areas if it wishes to (that is, turning into human form and experiencing the various attributes and qualities of humans)?
