Don't you wish everyone in the world was like Jesus ?

78. Matthew 24:15-51 is one example

Revelations is one long nightmare, the rapture as described in Thessalonians is another. 2 John 1: 7 isn't exactly soothing.

Also from Thessalonians: "the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus."

...echoing Jesus' words in Matthew 11:20-24. And so forth.

The old-style hellfire and damnation preacher had plenty to work with right out of the bible, and Jesus set a pretty strong example. According to the bible and the accounts of him, so we are told.

(on edit) Eight years of catholic school gave me an excellent education, but studying the bible definitely helped me along toward a good science-based atheism. There's some psychological comfort to be found in devotion to faith, and worship of the long dead, but, at bottom, its pretty silly. There's more and better comfort to be found among the living, if that's what you need.
