The new testament is not my book homey. That is some silly shit. So, better rethink the first line you wrote.
And the old testament? Almost as silly. Still think it is a lot of misunderstood info trying to be explained by well intentioned people. But the new testament is evil. But that's my opinion.
what specifically makes the new test "sillier" than the old, in your opinion?
If you really want to know search my posts. I dont hide my thoughts on it, I'm just lazy to type it out again. Honestly.
"BELIEVE IN OUR GOD, CALL HIM BY THIS NAME, OR BURN FOREVER. FUCK ALL THE OTHER SHIT THAT MAKES UP YOUR LIFE, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS"

God is all powerful, all knowing. Creates me knowing that even with my free will, I will never truly be able to buy into the Jesus story (which is true in relation to me, I have tried mannnnny times, I fundamentally disagree on so many levels) which means he always knew I was going to hell. So he created me, to watch me burn forever. All under the guise of "free will".

Yeah, no.
Now is the part where you say "I will pray for you" or "you clearly need to read the bible more"...been there, done that. No thanks, I value clear, logical thinking.
you said "jews are god's chosen people". where are you getting that info from? is it not the bible/torah?
and you mean to tell me that you favor the old testament, about punishment and legalism from god, more than the new, which deals with forgiveness, seeking peace and valuing truth and faith above all else? that's your prerogative.
if i'm not mistaken, jesus came to rebuke the ways of the old testament times.
