What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

by Michael R. Burch

From beginning to end, the bible is all about using fear of nonexistent beings — monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet — to control the minds and behavior of people gullible enough to believe evil nonsense.

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:

What factors may contribute to intelligent individuals identifying as Republican rather than Democrat in the United States today?

In the Old Testament you could be stoned to death, for thinking independently.

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!

In the New Testament, you will go to an infinitely cruel, purposeless “hell” for thinking independently.

How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?

Sexual desire (“lust”) is evil, and to desire someone is the same as committing adultery:
