    Aren’t Christians supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who preached kindness, fought hypocrisy (“those without sin may cast the first stone”), encouraged self-accountability (“if your eye causes you to sin, cast it out”), and gave his life for the betterment of others?

    God is an egotistical a-hole. He tested his followers in inhumane ways to prove their faith and devotion and used the fear of eternal suffering and damnation to enforce his will.

    A Christian that reads the Bible and takes away the teachings of God but not Jesus is misguided at best.
