My pastor said in church that we should all read the bible in its entirety to get a full view of God's vision. I did so four times and aside from all the inconsistencies I found in the scriptures I was shocked most by God's cruelty. I envisioned the biblical God as a tyrant and slowly but painfully I began to wean myself away from Christianity.
So you need to go thank your pastor for making you read the bible, thus opening your eyes to the truth!
