If God really is on different levels, and his thoughts are different from ours, I’m pretty much sure it’s better than ours.
Sorry but I don't understand this. If you agree that God's ways and thoughts, since He's on a different level than us, are better, why would you want Him to work according to your ways? No, God is not sending metaphoric messages. His message is clear, the problem is man wants to continue his rebellion despite the clear message He has given, thus the different interpretation. No matter how clear your message is, if someone is against you, you can expect to be misinterpreted.
So he will understand that muslims will die for islam because he allowed these muslims to be born muslims, the same applies to christians, to hindus. There are a lot of truths in these world. And I don’t know why God allowed that. Even the christians have a lot of bible versions. Who wouldn’t be confused. So I think he will understand.
Different bible versions is not confusing if you know the different types of translations scholars are doing. There are only two, Paraphrase and word for word. The former is bad, the latter is a good translation. The differences in those good versions isn't even significant to affect how one understands the message when comparing version to version.
I don’t question God’s holiness, I’m just embracing my humanity. If one of the causes of humanity’s division is the idea of god why not eliminate it. But thats a bit idealistic because no one can prove and dispprove God. But maybe we eliminate religion.
There's always division between truth and falsehood, light and dark. The problem is not that truth is not expressed clearly but that truth is suppressed by man because man loves falsehood. That's the default human disposition after the fall.
