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

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

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.

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!

Do you agree that all President Trump needs to do during tonight's 6/27/24 debate is to stand quietly at the podium and simply allow Mr. Biden to go down in flames?

OBEY!

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

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above?

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

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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

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.

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

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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:

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

What are the most significant instances of romantic jealousy in the Harry Potter series?

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

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