I don't have to prove anything because the whole point is how one interprets the Bible.
If you want to think that it is a message of love then so be it.
I see it as abuse.

I'll give an example that works in my mind. The religious often like to point out that there must be a god since all of reality had to have a beginning. You can't prove or disprove it but it does seem logical to the human mind.
The same can be said for interpreting the Bible. once I read it it makes much more sense from a primitive bronze age goat herder point of view than that of an all knowing god.
There fore my logical conclusion is that the Bible (like all other holy books) was written by man who claimed to be inspired by a god so as to propagate their way of thinking. You can't prove that i'm wrong about that nor can I prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am right. However, logic says it is much more likely.
