The thing that annoys me most about bible stories is that they are often stories of god and his followers doing horrible and cruel things to people, and I'm sorry but "Don't question these things because God is perfect!" is just not a good enough excuse for me. 
I am a little more concerned that an omnipotent being (god) is capable of genocide, tantrums and changing his mind. The Abrahmic religions operate on fear, brainwashed christians in Roman times happily let themselves be martyred in blood sports a little bit like followers of christian cults being involved in mass suicide or blindly obeying opportunistic leaders.
But judeo-christian ethics did provide the legal foundation of morals and standards in our relatively stable society. So why rock the boat
I dunno, for some reason I just don't trust them.
We don't have a choice...the laws we live under were formed by bible thumping christians
I know, the very same Christians who used to burn people just like me at the stake for being homosexual or non-Christian. I guess that's why I don't trust them.
My biggest fear is going back to the dark ages when it was OK to do that s**t. If Mike Pence ever becomes president I feel that he would want things that way in this country and that scares me.
Matie.
Be at peace.
I'm sure you would never be burnt alive for being homosexual.
You would probably be chemically castrated instead.
Christianity is a compassionate faith after all.

Mate, matey.
Listen to me.
Stop fretting.
I'll put your mind at ease through certainty rather than you having to live with the anxiety associated with the unknown.
Yes, something very, very bad is going to happen.
Next week on Tuesday, at 4.00 pm.
Feeling better?
I can also provide you with Zaphod Beeblebrox's "fear sensing glasses" which turns opaque when in dangerous situations, hence no anxiety.
<ponder>
I think I might be getting predictable.
I'll need to find new material soon.

Lol, seriously though. I think we're all on edge about the state of the world right now, and we have every right to be.

At least most people have higher expectations when it comes to people’s behavior than God’s. We’d be in a real pickle otherwise.
Blasphemy!

Maybe God is really a Dog? Hence the term "Dogma".
