The idea that a higher power would care if we ate shellfish, but is ok with us beating our slaves (as long as they don't die straight away), is really hard to rationalise. The humble position, when faced with something you don't know, is to say "I don't know." Too often the religious position seems to be "I can't know, therefore I will believe something someone else has told me" which seems entirely non-humble to me.
