Each faithful person brings their own morality to the biblical narrative and interprets it's stories in light of that.
The divine command types read it and say "god said so, so it's good".
Other, equally faithful people find ways to distance themselves from their own inherent sympathy "well, they must have deserved it somehow"
Yet another group throws their hand in the air in conceptual moral frustration, exclaiming "mysterious ways!"
Still more tell us that these particular stories were obviously just stories and aren't indicative of the actual character of their god, better expressed in the NT.
As regards to the OP phrase...they;ve put alot of thought into it, it;s more an issue of a lack of anything being produced from all that thought, aside from copious bullshit.
