You mean like "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Treat others as you would have them treat you". I'm curious why you consider such commandments ludicrous and conceited. If not these, to which commandment are you referring? You will need to be more specific.
Most of the rest of your questions seem to boil down to: "Why didn't God do things like I think they should have been done?" You would have to take that up with Him.
Hey, I'm just using your own logic here..

Ok, so when I say the Bible is biased.. how would you defend this?

Sorry, I would have to take that up with him? Can you answer this differently? this really doesn't help with the situation. You're just proving my point.. you're leaving everything in the hands of something you cannot prove exists.
I like to break things down into detail and, in this case, prove how the Bible is biased and unjust. Can you take all that and justify it somehow? I don't know if that's possible really but I'm open to it.
