Yes. Exactly.
Therefore either God is capricious to the point of being irrational -or- our understanding of God's will if flawed. If the latter, then you have to consider the source -bible, koran, whatever- and ask what other dogma is suspect. At the very least, a reasonable person should therefore be an agnostic .. even if they decide to honor their belief in God despite the lack of reliable evidence.
For myself, this is sufficient to conclude that God's will or existence is not worth fretting over. I like what Stimbo says about this in his signature. 'Just live a good and just life. If there be gods and they be just, they will be satisfied. If they're not .. fuck them.' [This is a very rough approximation.]
