Just to bring this back to the OP, I have quoted it.
I don't know enough about Judeo-Christian scriptures to argue much from them. However, it seems that the following are true in general about religions:
1) What people want in a God is someone "perfect-enough" to justify their worship. People are picky. They will not worship just anything. So they look for the best.
2) What religious texts provide are cultural ways to relate to such a God. One cannot expect these scriptures to be "perfect". They are projections onto objective texts of subjective understandings. To claim they are complete projections of that subjectivity would be to make an idol out of those texts. All one can say is they, too, are "perfect-enough" to guide the religious practitioner.
Ironically, it is not a religious person's scriptures that generate paradoxes or contradictions so much as it is the belief in concepts like block universes that are contradictory and paradoxical. A block universe violates the indeterminism of quantum physics. It leads to belief in things like time travel. It leads to belief in reductionism. It leads to dehumanization. One can call that block universe an atheist's God. Since that God is not conscious, it is not worthy of worship and would be justifiably rejected by practitioners of many religions.
