The underlined part is the key. This bullshit was massaged for centuries and then presented to a captive population as a done deal. "Believe it or burn at the stake!"
Such is xtian "love."
When you combine all the parts, so that you can see all the many fallacies and contradictions, the murders and molestations, the arguments of "context", the outright fabrications, the pile of discrepancies, even the very nature of an angry, jealous, hostile malevolent god - it seems (to me) incomprehensible how anyone could continue to not only believe, but defend and attempt to sell this religion as humanities saving grace.

But remember, for 1,000 years after they had the right to murder/torture anyone who disagreed or disputed their bullshit. I've said many times that if you gave me the right to execute people who disagree I could have millions worshiping a toaster in 20 years. Fear is a great motivator. Religious scumbags know that better than almost anyone else.
