One of your major difficulties is that you have been steeped in the concept of an illogical God for so long.
Ok....
NIV Job 36:22-26
22. "God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
23. Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, `You have done wrong'?
24. Remember to extol his work, which men have praised in song.
25. All mankind has seen it; men gaze on it from afar.
26. How great is God--beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
NIV Isaiah 55:8-9
8. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
9. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
What a nice dodge. Now anyone can claim God said something, and when it's pointed out how illogical it sounds, he can come back and say "God is beyond our understanding."
Now do you understand why I've begun to consider organized religion to be a confidence game?
