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

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

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!

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

What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?

by Michael R. Burch

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

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

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

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

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.

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

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

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

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

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.

What can you do if you are a full-grown adult, but never experienced being a child?

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

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.

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?

OBEY!

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