What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

Women wearing men’s clothes is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christian women have worn pants.

In the Old Testament you could be stoned to death, for thinking independently.

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

And thus coupled with OBEY! is the parallel dictate “Never, ever, think for yourself!”

What happens if one doesn’t OBEY! the dictates of the creators of such nonsense?

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

OBEY!

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

Sexual desire (“lust”) is evil, and to desire someone is the same as committing adultery:

Do people really have sex with animals?

In the New Testament, you will go to an infinitely cruel, purposeless “hell” for thinking independently.

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Can I fix a fridge leak myself, or should I call a pro?

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?

From beginning to end, the bible is all about using fear of nonexistent beings — monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet — to control the minds and behavior of people gullible enough to believe evil nonsense.

Making love is evil, unless sanctioned by marriage. Of course the vast majority of christians have sex outside marriage.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!
