After all the years of scholars more intelligent than us, poring over texts and coming up with nothing that will satisfactorily silence those who are only here to scoff, I'm not sure any of us on this thread is going to come up with something that will satisfy everyone. And just because you consider something to be "the old moral relativism argument../." does not mean that it's beneath contempt and dismissible anywhere but in your own head.

You can think what you like about my faith, and I'll think what I like about your interpretation of it. I know what I feel and what I believe. You've only just developed an interest in the Old Testament and yet here you are thinking you have all the answers. To use your own quote... oh well.

Where has he said he has 'all the answers'? nowhere.

Scholars know as much as you or I as like you and I they were not there.
And the interpretations by the differing faiths mindblowingly complex and contradictory.
It's not about coming up with something, it's appreciating diversity, the meaning of life is never going to be the same for one person as another and smelting it down to who is the most devout is pointless as nobody knows * for certain* what the 'true path' if ever there indeed was one is.
