You hate all non-christians, women, gays, slaves, people who wear mixed cloth, seafood, people who masturbate (Everyone), and many more. The Bible literally states that homosexuals should be killed in one of the most brutal ways possible e.g. stoning. Love thy neighbor is a mistranslation of "fellow Jew" meaning properly it is "Love thy fellow jew and hate all those who aren't." Neat, huh?
Jesus was openly racist several times in the Bible, but the most prominent being in Mathews: 15:23 where he called a woman a dog only because she was of another race/country. If you forgot that part then let me sum it up: Woman wants help, Jesus says he will only help jews, woman begs, Jesus shows racism against woman by calling her a dog, woman outsmarts Jesus by saying that even dogs get scraps from their masters, and finally Jesus relents. Really Christian-like.
Ehhhh, don't blame it all on the Abrahamics. There's currently a genocide going on by Buddhists against Muslims, and (while the government in question disputes it) by atheists against practictioners of a type of meditation. The problem is pretty much "people in power," as far as I can figure it.
Seafood makes the list because it's another major Levitical proscription. And since a lot of Christian arguments against things like abortion are old-Testament-based (see: that whole thing about the penalty for the wrongful loss of a pregnancy being regulated like the death of a person, not loss of property), it's really not viable to restrict arguments about Christian beliefs to the new Testament.
The argument against snorting is not Old Testament based among people I know. If seafood is bad what of the loaves and fishes? Several apostles were fishermen. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are more held in literal regard by Judaism. The teachings of Jesus were meant to expound upon or replace a lot of Old Testament teachings.
Seafood as in shrimp. If you're interpreting the Old Testament strictly, you can't wear cotton-linen blends or eat any sea dweller that hasn't got scales (i.e., lobster, shrimp, crab, shark, flounder, etc.)
The Old testament is part of the Bible as Jesus states in the New testament. If you don't follow the Bible strictly then you are only pretending to be a christian. You can't say you're a vegan while eating meat everyday.
Following the Bible is what Jews do as far as I know. Christian is called such because we follow Christ, otherwise we would be Biblians or something stupid.
Then why would there be a New testament? In fact why a Bible at all if you just need to believe in the god? Sounds like some humans made a bad plot idea and are trying to cover it up.
Why need records? If I wanted people to know about me from birth then I would simply have them be born with the knowledge of what I've done and what I want them to do. This sounds like another one of those plot holes.
The Bible mentions several times over that there is no free will. It doesn't even have to as the very existence of an omniscient being means that there is no free will.
Bye bye every religion
Anyway, you can still follow a relgion and not do that. Most religions also say weird shit about not wearing certain cloths or not loving certain people, and it’s all pretty arbitrary. Loads of people follow it anyway.
Religion is only a set of beliefs by a group of people. It just so happens that people like to make religions with a powerful force behind them. This is because religion was primarily a way of controlling others thousands of years ago and giving authority and power unto oneself. Saying your idea to the tribe means little, but when it comes from a "god" then they'll agree much more easily. Most religions have a god for this reason and it is only really modern religions that tend to be atheistic.
tl;dr Theistic ones are more common, but they aren't the rule. It's similar to basketball. Most players are tall and black, but you don't have to be tall and black to play.
Also, if a God exists, His definition of right/wrong is the correct one. If yours differs, you are the one who is wrong, not the being who,created everything.

You're being intentionally obtuse.

Pick another religion.
