But your God has no problem with pedophiles. The "righteous" Lot had sex and children with his own daughters.

Christianity is *purely* a tool. Used by people in power. So many of it's foundations are stolen / Imitated by past religious sects.
I'm not going to claim that my belief is absolute, but I will acknowledge facts over my own and any other's own upbringing and bias "truths".

Not to further meaningless and pointless debate around this, except to say the OP's question belies a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel. That's all I'm gonna say.

Christianity is a blood lusting death cult. They condone killing more than any other religion. It is the worship of violence and death.

That's nonsense, and you need to read the New Testament if you haven't - especially if you're going to hold opinions on what it says. But meh, whatevez I say. Believe what you like, but do it intelligently.

Name another religion whose rituals involve bowing before a symbol of torture and cannibalism.

Your imaginary friend Jesus claimed to be god. Which god? Mithra? Zeus? Apollo? Ra? No, he claimed to be the god of the old testament in human form on earth. You cannot separate the two unless you are suggesting Jesus was a liar or a mental case. But neither is true since he did not exist.

Not such a far fetched idea after all, eh?

Give me the wine, I don't need bread.

Or in other words, you've got a bevy of selective interpretations and metaphors you can twist around to make the gospel say what you want it to. Lutheran, Calvinist, Adventist, Baptist, Orthodox, Anglican... pick an understanding! They all misunderstand the gospel according to a Catholic.

The absolute best thing you can do is forget about all the guff and just read it. It's not as complicated as all this secondhand knowledge and discussion makes out. The first time I read it for myself I was amazed at how much I had been mislead by others as to what it actually said.

The first lesson of the Renaissance was to go to primary sources, yet so few actually do it even today. I say the same about the Koran BTW - everyone should read it so they know what it is they are arguing about.
