example: "god is love", he was and he is love. where does hate came from? so you tell that he made hate inorder to appreciate love? it's like saying that he made "wrong" inorder to know what is right? what's the point? so you say, don't question the wisdom of god? oh c'mon.
another one: he is "all-knowing" - before anything happens, he already knows that it has to happen. so, how can there be bad or good when everything is according to his will. Well, if it's not, then why he let it to happen? Freedom? How can there be freedom when everything that has to happen, he already knew?
another one, "god is righteous" - according to the bible, he is the alpha and the omega. he created everything. where does the concept of right and wrong came from? if he created everything to be right, then there would be nothing in the universe but "all right".
Finally, I will say that when one scrutinize the bible to it's very core, take out all belief and fascinations at some moment and think deep and be rational. You will find out how the script has been manufactured.
