I'm not so sure. While I still hold on my faith, I find it deeply distrubing
that the atrocities ordered by God in the Old Testament are not reputiated in
the teachings of Jesus since Jesus is God. In fact, I find it hard to accept
that a God who loves us could possibly commit someone to the eternal suffering
that is commonly accepted as hell.
