(18,973 posts)Christianity is a terrible and evil religion in my eyes, and it's spread pain and suffering to the 4 corners of the earth. You believe what you want, I'll believe what I want, but we're not going to silence each other.
Hating families:
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26
He encouraged men to castrate themselves.
There are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Matthew 19:12
He accepted Old Testament laws.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Matthew 5:17
He was a warmonger.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34, Luke 12:51-53
He threatens to kill children (with death).
I will kill her children with death. Revelation 2:23
New Testament, Old Testament, it's still people deciding which parts to accept and which parts to reject. That's my point. Not telling anyone what they should choose to believe in, just revealing that they're in fact picking and choosing which parts of the Bible they want to believe in.
