Can bible really be interpreted as if there is no torment but you cease to exist

2Chr.34
[24] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
[25] Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

God bringing evil upon people?
Surely sounds like an evil God to me.
His wrath shall be poured out and shall not be quenched?
Sounds like he really lost his temper on that day.
Open to interpretation anyone?

I didn't say evil, judgement, wrath weren't useful tools for good. Job is a great example. However whether God brings judgement or he allows evil to happen, is irrelevant, as it doesn't prove He is evil inheritly. I said "is" not "does". I define someone (or something) as evil if they do something morally wrong or bad.
To quote your verse "Because they have forsaken me" is a reason that justifies punishment. To use a recent analogy on evil; as a father I love my son. My son understands that there are consequences for his actions. I hold him accountable for his actions. The fact he doesn't "like" his punishment or whether he thinks it unjust is irrelevant as the expectation was established prior to his offence.

I'll see the OP and raise him this:

What can't the bible be interpreted to say

God is evil
Jesus chose to sin
any basis for scientific discovery

The bible can absolutely be interpreted to make god evil...I do it all the time, as do most of us here, next.

Mark 10:17 "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."

Jesus just denied the divinity of christ, which is.....as far as I'm aware...sinful blasphemy..lol. Next.

Believe Stat and Ryft would tell you that the god described in the bible (our only source of information about this god) is the only god which meets the "neccessarry preconditions of knowledge"..and so..the bible, and the abrahamic god, are the only basis for scientific discovery of any kind. Got any more of these? Because I enjoy whittling down things like this.

It has been a while since I tossed some meat out to the fishies to bite on, glad I could oblige. So because Jesus said that God is good it proves God is evil... you'll have to enlighten me on your logic there. Oh I see you're using that to counter my second statement that Jesus chose to sin. It does not devide the trinity. It tacitly points the man (who believes Jesus to be a human teacher) to the source of all good and for His coming which is God the father. That isn't a sin, nor is it blasphemy.

I'll await SW or Ryft to come and speak for themselves. As far as God being the only possible knowledge owner, that 's preposterous. I may not have objective absolute knowledge capability. I certainly colloquially "know" things, though. There are plenty of scientific studies that are able to reliably prove something to be consistant. That, in your book, may not be knowledge, but I don't hold the conception that absolute objective knowledge is necessary for usefullness.

I agree. These Abrahamic religions are without a doubt the cause of political unrest and they are a threat to the safety and well-being of everyone, not just the religious zealots who use them to stir up that trouble. You make a very good point.

This is precisely why I won't hesitate point out how utterly absurd their foundational doctrines are.

Zealots being idiots is what causes people to have unrest. Without religion, people would just find something else to fight about.
