OK, do you believe in the whole Bible then? Have you truly read the OT? You are saying that we would never know the reasons why God does certain things. This is a nice excuse to hide behind when God does inhumane things. There are many stories in the OT where God is portrayed as sexist, warmonger, promotes slavery, homophobic, egotistical, etc. In my eyes this is NOT an all-loving God and I do not wish to ever worhip this God (not that I believe in him in the first place). It is easy for you Christians to hide behind "God is to complex for us to understand". If that is your reasoning, why believe anything in the Bible?
Have I at least convinced you that there ARE many inconsistancies in the Bible? This seemed to be your whole argument...
