    but the problem is the Old Testament treats people terribly, where enemies of god are tortured and killed, compared to the new testament which preaches freedom, honesty, empathy, and generosity.

    • Erm… it preaches being “slaves for Christ”, with very few safeguards on what are good boundaries for leaders to have over you. I agree on the ideals, but the power dynamics also “treat people terribly”

        Yeah that’s how religions work, they’re all ass. My statement was not a claim that Christianity was good or justified, it was that the Old Testament was particularly more ass than the new one.
