Religion

The whole idea that god suddenly became more benevolent after Christ came on the scene is both nonsensical and literally unsupportable. The whole idea that the Jewish scriptures go out the window only really came about when there was a need to do away with the circumcision requirement in order to bring the more affluent Greeks and Romans to the party. It certainly wasn't about anything Jesus allegedly said.

Those who claim Christians who pray to a vengeful god aren't real Christians are pretty far off the mark. It's more fair to say they are more true to a literal reading. It's also fair to say many of them had ham on Easter because that's what Jesus would have done.

The idea of a litmus test on who is and isn't a Christian is kinda silly. Anyone who calls themselves a Christian, is a Christian. Every one of them has their own idea of what that means and none are incorrect. It's all made up anyway so making it up as you go is pretty much the whole point.
