The reasons for disbelief will always be numerous. What I think lies at the core for many people is not a modernist-fueled thirst for logic and congruity, but a simple lack of faith, an unwillingness to believe, and an overwhelming desire to serve self. This was the case for me as well as many people I've met throughout my life.
Arguments implementing logic will explain most of the Bible, though not all of it. It is certainly possible that if God created us along with everything else, that his mind would exist on a super-logical plane, and could devise and comprehend things that we will never be capable of grasping this side of eternity.
Some might say this is a likely excuse for someone who has run up against a theological/moral/logical wall and can't get around it. I however say that it's fully logical that God is a super-logical being, having a mind infinitely more advanced than ours, unencumbered by the rules we imagine to bind the universe together. It's a simple if/then equation. If he is the supreme being, then it follows that many things about him would be incomprehensible to us. I personally would rather believe in something greater than what my own mind can conjure and my hands can build. I would make a pitiful god, along with the rest of the human race.
