Go back and read it again. Not one character in the bible is more in love with the idea of hell as jesus. He loved talking about it, he lusted at the thought of sinners burning there, but more than that, he swooned at the idea of nonbelievers burning there, regardless of their deeds.
Thought crimes. He preached that he could read your thoughts and you'd be judged for sinful ones, regardless of whether or not you acted on them. I find something really disturbing about that. How can one control their thoughts? Just to control it, you have to think about what it is you ought not think of, thereby sinning by trying not to sin. It's stupid. Why would I love that.
Lets not forget about the part where he sacrifices himself for the sins of all people... the very sins he condemned. So, it really doesn't matter if you have a natural (sinful) thought about your smokin' hot neighbor lady, all you have to do is be a believer, ask for forgiveness, and boom.. absolution express.
Just the way god brought himself into this world as his own son makes me gag. He's god, right? Omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. So, instead of making it discreet, he sends winged slaves to earth to let everyone know he's coming. What happened as a result? He probably should've foreseen that King Herod was going to heinously murder massive numbers of infant children.

If I was an omniscient, omnipotent being, I would probably found a way to avoid that situation, but hey god/jesus is awesomely mysterious right?
Yeah, fuck him, fuck the new testament, fuck jesus. Not very much there that gives me the warm fuzzies.
Well, you asked.
