Since you're unframiliar with the Bible, I'll just stick to the famous bits.
You know the 10 commandments, right? "Thou shalt have no others gods before me?" Does that mean you can't worship Jesus? No, it means Jesus and the God of the Old Testement are the same. We called it "The Holy Trinity".
You know How God, that is Jesus, sent the plagues upon Egypt? How He killed every the firstborn child to punish a Pharoh (who He didn't just punish directly?) Does that sound like the wuss you've heard preachers describe?
You know God controls everything, individually designing each and every snowflake, right? So who punishes sinful toddlers with horrible injuries and diseases? Who kills the 75% of babies who die in miscarriages? Your hippie Jesus? Or the bold and ruthless king and Lord of hosts that True Christians™ worship?
You know how Joshua won the battle of Jericho? Catchy song, huh? You know that when Joshua took Jericho he killed "everything that breathed", right? Pregnant ladies, babies, everything. I guess your hippie Jesus would blather about "rules of engagement" and "disproportionate force", but the REAL Jesus, the one we worship, knows you have to break a lot of eggs to make an omlete. That and a lot of babies.
You know about Noah and the flood? That's Jesus who drowned everybody on earth. Picture your hippie Jesus waterboarding to death little babies!
Jesus works in mysterious ways. He is the shepard of our flock. You know that shepards EAT the sheep, right? Mysterious ways. It is not our job to question it.
Love everybody? Of course we love everybody, but it's tough love, rebuking ongoing sin, urging repentance for past sin, punishing preemptively future sin.
The is, if we tolerate your sin, you'll have to tolerate the flames of HELL. Then you'll really get to show off how good at tolerating stuff you are.
But wait! It doesn't have to be this way! Toss away those secular books Obama's brainwashing mills order you too read, and get the Bible! But first, get on your knees, repent your sins, and beg forgiveness from the LORD.
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!
