@u crank: You're just making up your own religion as you go, by picking and choosing the parts you like, like most "Christians" do. That's why you "don't have answers" to all the ugly and genocidal actions, either ordered or commited by the bible god. There's nothing mysterious about ordering your home team to loot a village, kill every living thing therein, to "not show mercy on the children", or taking the virgins as spoils of war, there is nothing to understand about the appalling actions and commands other than that they are appalling.
And as I already said, the idea of treating other people decently (how does that compute with those stories...?) is not originating from the desert god. If that is all you take from that book and pretend to "not understand" the ugly parts and stupid laws, then merrily going on ignoring them, you have no basis for calling yourself a "Christian". Either your god is real and has divinely inspired the authors and composers of your book so that you have no business picking and choosing and redefining your god as to what you "feel" he is, or you assembled him from the parts you like and he exists only in your head.
"One thing I do believe is that God wants us to question Him."
Wrong. You obviously haven't read the book of Job (for example) in any detail, have you? In there, towards the end of the book, over several pages your god is ranting out of a thunderstorm at Job on how he has no business whatsoever to question "Him".
Look, if you need an invisible man in the sky as a reason to act in a moral manner, then by all means go for it. Just don't pretend it has anything to do with the figure described in the bible that condoned slavery and ordered the slaughtering of children.
