This is why I found it most exciting. In my youth, I was firmly aware that humanity probably deserves it. Even more so now that I know how shitty people are in general.
I expect nothing less from someone who abandons children over an apple.
That's what happens if you have dozens of authors contributing to a single work without proper oversight, and yet more editors changing it as they like over the course of millennia.
He gave them ONE rule "You're free to prance around naked and basically do whatever you want and eat from any tree bush or root you want, except that one over there if you eat from it you're going to die." Also he didn't abandon anyone it's more like he put us in the corner for a while and we've kept misbehaving ever since
The bible is the one true word of God. It immediately starts with a story about why women and their simp enablers are responsible for all death and sin in the world. The bible is timeless and even if you only read it from a secular point of view, the lessons inside will improve your quality of life drastically. Please find God.

Well, he didn't abandon us (or we'd be dead before our first breath). But I also find it fascinating that on the one hand you think we deserve punishment but on the other, you blame God. Either God is responsible for our suffering (then Revelation isn't valid), or we are responsible and God doesn't exist (then Revelation still isn't valid), or the gospel is right and Jesus died for our sins (in which case, that contradicts Revelation, and it still isn't valid).
I'm pretty sure if religious humor were a sin, I would have died years ago. After all, I also had Jesus running in a rigged election (his mom and dad are running under Catholic and Jewish pseudonyms, both of which will throw the match if they win).
Parts of the Bible are really freaking awesome. Much of the story of Elijah in particular. He basically stalls the rain for three years, ravens feed him bread and meat, then he comes back and teases them as they still can't make it rain or burn a sacrifice before burning something soaked with water and making it rain, then he gets chased off to a mountain, complains to God, God says "I can't here you, you'll have to come outside." So he goes outside, and God brings huge storms before it's quiet, Elijah basically is shitting his pants and is like "ummmm..."
Please don't bring serious religion in. It's making my brain hurt and the desire to troll this topic is difficult to keep on lock.
Oh no, that isn't serious religion. That's my own religious ideas, independent from the Bible.
I'm not sure sure if it was Elijah. Or if it wasn't being old rather than bald.
Only the ones who don't believe in Christ. The ones who do win eternal life and eternal happiness, which is a pretty big win, imo
Not exactly? It is more like tough love, imo, and is mentioned again and again that God promises salvation to believers
Elaborate, please
Reading the bible and I find Jesus to be rather a 'party person' (contrary to what Puritans always love to portray him). Like, he's always present in parties/celebrations where there are lots of 'sinners' and 'crooks'. And yeah, I believe that's what attracted people to him; he can't be found secluding himself in some lonely place all the time, he's going where his ministry needs him.
