That's b/c you're a rational human being. Unfortunately for the (I believe) vast majority of rational, truth seeking, religious individuals, a large segment of people warp religious concepts to their own hateful, irrational way of thinking (and BB - don't kid yourself, if "religion" didn't exist these same irrational individuals would find some other way to bond and group themselves in order to justify their killing of people different than themselves or whatever hateful agenda they came up. You know - like marxism).
