Normally, what is said is something like, "Well God's ways are his own, and we cannot understand them." Because, you know...God.
The excuse that humans cannot understand God's will is the weakest excuse of all, in my mind. And it is the one used to justify genocide and even Noah's flood, which killed every human and land animal on the planet, save one family and the animals that got on the ark.
Why did God do that, you ask? Because the people did things it didn't like, so death to them all. It was God's judgment, so it was just, because...well...god, see?
Nonsense. Of course, there was no such flood, but that's beside the point. People believed there was, and still worshiped that deity.
Utter illogical malarkey and balderdash is what it is.
I could never worship a deity that wiped out all land-based life on Earth, except for one family and some pairs of animals. Nope. But, my conclusion is that no such deity ever existed, and the whole thing is a total fiction, made up by bronze age goatherds. Why we're still reading it today is a complete mystery. Why anyone believes any of it can only be chalked up to blind, willing ignorance.
