If God created everything, and God provided religion, how are God's words so easily twisted to support violence against his own creation? Hitler used christianity to support his nationalized anti-semitism, but anti-semitism, slavery and other forms of what we now consider abuse were once supported by Christian doctrine - Spanish Inquisition anyone? Think of all the warring hotspots in the world. How many of them are fueled by the use of religious works which many say are inspired by God?
The natural counter-argument is that "We cannot understand the will of God." This means that God's will is not deductively logical.
If God isn't logical, how do we know that what he actually wants us to do is actually what he is asking us to do (which would be logical)?
