Unless you believe in him and obey him. If not he will just kill you or send you to eternal torment. If things get really bad he'll just kill everyone.

But he loves you? Where do I sign up?

BTW 14/15 missed that last one.

That's correct, but do you know why?

That's incorrect! There is no record of such.

Anywhere. It's a personal transaction between you & He.

Oh boy, where to start with this misnomer.

The message of the bible is so convoluted and unclear that it has spawned all kinds of religious biases and denominations who cannot agree on anything, including the basic message.

The OT clearly has a different god than the NT, then chuck a messiah in the mix and you have one messed up message.

Makes you wonder why an all powerful, omnipotent god would want so much confusion among the people he so dearly 'loves'.

What reason do you think is it OK to do so? I can think of none I would subject anyone I love to such. Or anyone at all for that matter.

It's all in the bible. Is that enough proof? It's god's word after all.

I want NOTHING to do with bible god. He is a monster without any redeeming values. Thanks but no thanks.

Can you give me one example from your list that you consider "major"?

That's incorrect! All Christians agree that Jesus is our Savior.

Here is just a sample, It would take me to long to type:

Scientific errors in the bible - RationalWiki
Ten errors in the Bible - Little Rock atheism | Examiner.com

All are major, with a god there should be no mistakes.

A true god would want me to be a good person,be happy and love my family and friends and that's about it. I should not be REQUIRED to worship him and I should not be damned to hell for not worshiping him. I would never, injure or kill my child for not obeying my every command. the bible is nothing more than a power trip.
