You have a good point. Many things people do supposedly in God's name are abhorrent and disgusting. That is nothing new either but all throughout history there are examples of that. I guess when I listen to you I cannot understand how you could think the morality of the 10 commandments for instance are anything but good. I should not steal from you, commit adultery and hurt my wife, not bear false witness against you, not lay with your wife, kill you etc.... seems like pretty good stuff to me. Your objections can't really be with those things. Maybe your real issue is that you think the Bible is a phony fairy tale , the concept of a God is insane and without any proof, and many of the people who profess to follow it are awful human beings behaving just terribly. Some churches seem to be big money making organizations and preach love while doing very little to serve those needy who are suffering. Are you throwing the baby out with the bath water my friend and throwing all believers into one category of unintelligent or mentally ill , or evil or hypocrites? There is certainly a lot of great philosophical things in the bible one can appreciate even if they do not buy the God sent his son / the whole salvation thing....Been done so many times already by real biblical scholars. Although, I don’t think you need to be a scholar to see it for yourself. That’s of course if you want to see it. Plenty examples of what we today consider immoral acts in god’s name.
I believe in these things but I can certainly without judging you appreciate how difficult and contrary to reason religious faith might look to you from your perspective.
