Because they're a fucking idiot that believes magic people come back from the dead and that some vaguely sapient being created the entire vastness of the infinite universe with its mind boggling complexity, and sent another magic person to earth to help humanity, and that instead of offering actual help, like, you know, telling people that mold kills bacteria, he just said a bunch of shit about love that can easily be misinterpreted.

Seriously, if Jesus had just taught people about penicillin and then died he'd have done infinitely more good and infinitely less harm than he did.

All that idiotic, steaming horse shit in the bible and not one fucking sliver of insight into the nature of the fucking world. Not one.

Everyone does, and we have some queer and trans congregants too. Our official position is that we welcome all queer people in every way. Actually a bunch of people at another church left and joined us because that church came out as non-affirming of queer people.

Probably depends on which version of Christianity they go with

Try Psalm 137 on for size. 8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, Blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks!

Hosea 1 is wild: 8 "And when [Gomer the harlot] weaned No Mercy (And I thought Tragedeigh was a bad name for a girl!), she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said," Call his name Not my People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.

Also if fundies claim that the husband leads the wife like God leads the church, Hosea 2 gives a good idea of what "Godly husbandmanship" looks like.

And of course, Leviticus is full of all kinds of "fun” things to have as soundbites, like humiliation rituals for menstruation or" suspected" infidelity, when a rapist can marry his victim, and how badly you can beat a slave before you get into trouble for it.

Well it is also very important for Christians that molesting boys is just "oopsies" but not gay.

Can't really pretend that it's not interpreted that way by some Jewish people. Not Reformed but certainly among the Orthodox.

Have they not hear about power bottoms?

Nah, it was about the sinfulness of sharing Lays brand potato chips

The modern translation is a fairytale but if you get into the original Greek bible texts and supporting and opposing texts from Greco-Roman civilization it paints a very interesting picture of the corruption of the ancient world into the situation we call Western Civilization today. Hopeful eras where humanity improved like the Renaissance and the American Revolutionary War were in large part due to study and reemergence of pre-Christian pagan ideas from Greek antiquity.
