How do you explain the contradictions, absurdities, intolerance, cruelty and injustice to be found in our holy books? It can't be denied that these are present, 'kill the unbeliever,' 'take the virgins,' 'stone the one gathering sticks on a Sabbath,' etc.

If from a higher intelligence, a God of Love, why do our holy books precisely reflect the time, attitude, place and culture of the people who wrote the works?

God and religion generally imo were created by people with power to create fear and henceforth total control . Fear of the unknown can make the masses worship a bag of cow manure once they have been sufficiently brain washed.
