Supporting myth with fairy tale, and fairy tale with belief isn't going to be very helpful. It doesn't matter to me whether or not a god has contradictory attributes or claims associated, nor do I see the things you would see as contradictions...as contradictions. A god could be -consistent- and non-contradictory and still not get my vote. As could any given example morality.
In the given example you quoted above...I couldn't care less whether it is fact or fiction...consistent or contradictory...or even cherry picking......it is immoral regardless of any of that. A morality which contains that sort of arrangement simply isn't worth pursuing, to me.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
