Especially because it is so generally hyped as the "word of god" and even christians have a hard time explaining why they don't do what it says to do.
Drich is right you are using hearsay, you have nothing supporting your accusations.
You asked for an example here's one for the above.
Read John 8:1-11
John 8:7 And as they continued to ask Him, he stood up and and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
Seems Christ is putting an end to stoning, for no one is without sin.
Giving an example you wanted hope you see the truth in it. This is the last I'll reply on this but, like I said you are wrong in your OP.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
