Cannot help but notice some are getting hung up dissecting my question about what is truth and such. I attempted to remove all ambiguity and pose the question flatly. I often see reasoning to the effect that many dismiss Christianity due to lack of evidence. I'm questioning who would follow and worship Christ if they knew Christianity and what it purports to be true.(emphasis is mine)
Christianity purports a gawd that orders atrocities and/or stands by while atrocities are committed in it's name. My morality would not allow me to worship a gawd like that.
If the gawd of the buy-bull were the leader of a nation in the modern world, it would be a dictator to make Saddam look like a saint. Millions would die under it's "leadership," any nation within it's reach would be invaded and it's people brutally murdered and it would eventually be put down like a rabid dog.
On this I would like to point out that God had a very different vision for the world at it's creation. Specifically when he rested and said that it is good. It was not until after the fall of man that the world descended into what it has become. Most of what people object to in the bible stems from the events that have taken place since; whereabouts He has and is providing a path to our reconciliation to Him.
