Just Kill a Heifer and it will be ok

Deuteronomy 21:1 says,  "If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:  21:2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:  21:3 And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;  21:4 And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:  21:5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:  21:6 And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:  21:7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it."  Umm... What did the heifer do?  Why does God insist on killing innocent animals.  what does this prove?  The elders wash their hands over it.  Couldn't they have left the animal alive for that?  And since when does a corpses proximity to a city prove that the guilty person lies in the city?  Shouldn't they investigate the crime and leave the poor innocent heifer alone?

Kill them all!!!

Deuteronomy 20:17 says, "But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:"  If God killed everyone in the flood why would there be other people on the earth?  Why would he want them killed? These people had to have been born from the Israelites, so why would a loving God forsake them and not speak and guide them like he did others? 

God tells them to sack cities

Deuteronomy 20:13 says, “And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:

20:14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.” So god is basically saying kill all the men and take everything else for yourself. Women, children, everything. Why do women believe in this book? They are meer cattle to this god. Possessions.

God Doesn’t know again…

Deuteronomy 19:8 says, “And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;” Why would god need to enlarge anything. Shouldn’t he know exactly how big to make things?

God isn’t smart!

Deuteronomy 19:1 says, “When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

19:2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

19:3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.

19:4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;

19:5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:

19:6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.

19:7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.” So, let me distill this down. Make three cities in the area I give to to you to take violently from other people I made and set these cities aside for people who accidentally murder other people to hide out in. Do I have that right? Ummm… god? Aren’t you telling the avenger almost exactly where to look? At least narrowing it down to three places? That doesn’t sound very smart.

Is God confused?

Deuteronomy 18:21 says, “And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.” I thought he said That person would die so why would we need him to tell us not to be afraid of him? Is god confused?

Isn't god supposed to be powerful?

Deuteronomy 18:18 says, “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” Then in 18:120 it says “But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.” Why would he raise a prophet and not be sure he would only say what he wants him to say? Can’t he control this person? Doesn’t he know everything? And if so why doesn’t he know if this person will say something wrong?
