That's fair. I'm in agreement with the Word of God. There will be many who find fault with it and disagree. That's prophesied.
Yeah, I don't believe charlatanry that encourages me to be passive and waste my life in pursuit of a fictional, precarious, violent, hate filled, selfish false god. Studies and experts have been debunking people's claims about that for years but people still choose to remain willingly ignorant. It makes sense that you would choose to too.
Jesus was violent and selfish and hate filled? He flipped some tables. That's doesn't fit your description really.
God; - Killed the entire world, promised to never do it again, prophesied how he was going to do it again. - Killed an entire generation of innocent children (including animals) and adults to punish their divine right monarch. - Split an entire civilization for building a tower and being proud of it. - Destroyed two cities despite aforementioned promises not to mass kill people anymore. - Allowed his most loyal servant, Job, to be tortured, have his family leave him/be killed, and contract an incredibly painful disease, just to prove a point about his own ego. - Passed down outlines for how to treat slaves, endorsing slavery. - Created and endorsed several race wars (Egypt, the Judges of Israel, etc). - Created curiosity, then punished infantile people for being curious. According to the Bible at least. Most of these things are outright provably not historical.
Jesus did none of these things.
He's right, @Dash_Harber

No matter what branch of Christianity you believe in, Jesus is either God's avatar, God's principle representative, or God's son.
Also, the whole fucking point is that you say prays to God through Jesus. I never said Jesus did those things, but he does represent the man that did.
