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!

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

What 10 things have you stopped doing in your life?

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.

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

Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?

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

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

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

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

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!”

What is the best/cute/funny/playful chat/conversation between brother and sister?

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.

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!

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

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?

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