Awww........come on, admit there is no God, you'll feel better!!

I do agree with you, but I will take it one step further.
The only suggestion for the existence of God is the word of the faithful, or as you say "bunk invented by people" (an accurate description).
Therefore, if organsied religion allows so many obvious flaws and inconsistencies to exist, such as those you mention, I am inclined to believe that the most fundamental concept of western organised religion - the existence of God - is not true.

I am also saying that no matter how spectacularly inconsistent religious teaching are, the religiously faithful can (and I am sure will) explain away all inconsistencies. How?? Well, one cannot use logic (as you attempt to do) to discredit the fundamental illogic of religion.
