HA! read the OT and there are more contradictions in their 'god' character than in any moral guidebook ever conceived, the stories of Job, Abraham, the pharaoh, Moses, Adam and Eve, black people, homosexuals...there are a multitude of contradictory statements about god that would question the 'all-loving' creature. It seems somewhat hypocritical to say that we shouldn't kill because god wills us not to when he obviously does not abhor it in all it's forms, and often commits murder.
Religion is an attempt to answer the philosophical questions of the unphilosophical man.
