They exercise a fascinating amount of cognitive dissonance by simultaneously holding that Christianity is based on moral dictates of god–the ten commandments–yet ignore, or are conveniently excused by the New Testament, the other 603 dictates.
Their morality extends only so far as it is convenient, and then the rest are “well those morals were written for a different time”. No dude, according to your moral code derived from your religious text–that’s the way it’s supposed to always work, and your willful ignorance of them won’t get you into your concepts of paradise.
The natural result here is that anyone not 100% compliant with the dictates of the sky wizard are going to hell, or–more reasonably–it’s all made up and revised as periodically needed.
It’s just a way to project and sync their ego for the followers. They just have to try their best and can faith their sins away if you are in it, yet for outsiders they act like it’s the most solid belief system ever and demand a completely different standard they don’t hold themselves to.
Concur. It’s a system that (still!) relies on people not actually reading the the text. Even a cursory review reveals these flaws. But organized religion is generally specifically known for discouraging questions.
