You posted a bunch of garbage that can be boiled down to "Don't think about it, because god is wise and awesome because he is." There's not much to respond to, beyond you demonstrating the typical apologist circular logic, as though it's somehow not fallacious and compelling.
You gotta do better than that.

I think that the god of the Bible is pretty poorly defined, and there isn't really a place where a comprehensive description can be found. As with so much of the Bible, the bits and pieces that are scattered all about can be taken to create a pretty wide range of gods. It just depends on which bits you select and which you leave out. You could probably use several different verses to show god to be a normal human being, and several others to show him as an unstoppable force of nature.
Yeah, that's a good point.
My main beef is the popular, "god is perfect and/or does things in mysterious ways because he's infallible" crap. It's such a BS position to hold when mortals regularly confounded his plans in the OT. The apologists' reply is essentially "Tis only a flesh wound!"
