It is the utter annihilation, humiliation and torture of all human decency, intelligence, wisdom, science and rationality.
Nope, I'll give you a chance to think about it and see what you propose as an alternative.
It preaches that you must forgive people whose intent is to torture, rape and kill you.
No, it preaches that you can forgive, as Jesus did. Would you rather have a means to transcend evil, or would you rather live in fear that evil will destroy something you find important?
It preaches that a blood and death god and its disciples are the sole arbiters of all morality, philosophy and the arts.
How could he be a god if he didn't know how to use blood and death?
It idealizes martyrs, blood sacrifice and plagues, wherever Christianity becomes dominant, starvation, feces and rat plagues follow.
Not the testimony of western civilization.
It strips the normal men to the level of sewer mice and elevates the powerful to the level of God Emperors, turning normal people into disposable serfs while insulting a pope will bring you death.
You're literally quoting Trumpism, which isn't Christianity, sad to report. True Christianity admits that it's imperfect and so even as a Protestant I can identify with the papists who went too far and apologize on their behalf. Because it's about making it right and not just about having the complaint without ever resolving it.
Do what the Python troupe did in their unbelief: get the historical fact right that Jesus himself is untouchable, there's nothing in Jesus to ridicule, it's the entire world around him that is ridiculous. Christianity can be nothing without the person of Jesus. I will be happy to help work with you to right any wrong that has been done in his name, I'm empowered to by him. But it takes first a person reaching out with sincerity and asking for it to be made right, rather than being another complainer who lives to complain and would die if his complaints were all addressed perfectly. So we'll see which you are.
