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

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!

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

OBEY!

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

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

Women wearing men’s clothes is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christian women have worn pants.

What's the difference between “ce”, “ça”, and “cela”, and when do I use each (French)?

And thus coupled with OBEY! is the parallel dictate “Never, ever, think for yourself!”

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

Making love is evil, unless sanctioned by marriage. Of course the vast majority of christians have sex outside marriage.

What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?

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

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

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

What happens if one doesn’t OBEY! the dictates of the creators of such nonsense?

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.

Which album is your favorite that's now 50 years old (from 1975), and what's the best song on the album?

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?
