But God (imo of course) being a supreme being that we barely comprehend let alone understand does not fit into the neat mental compartments we crave and that seems to drive some people crazy on both sides of the believer divide. God is mysterious and undefinable, and that includes doing things that we may not understand.
Sorry if that's not much of an answer but seriously, if you really want to know which parts of the Bible, the Mormon bible, the Koran, Torah, etc are correct and which parts are not then just use your head, but just as importantly, use your heart.
