Like nature, God also veils his glory. That is as it should be. The Word of God has many levels, each adapted to each person's ability to understand and willingness to learn. Many of its teaching are hard, very hard to understand. Nothing worthwhile is easily attained.

Who are you to interpret god's word? Or is god just a bad author? Either way, yes, I do refuse to put myself through the doublethink and mental contortions one needs to go through in order to make an immoral book seem slightly less immoral.
