Christianity is terrorism.
1. How many people did God kill in one day for having premarital sex?
23,000 - "Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand" (1 Corinthians 10:8).
2. After God brought t ...[text shortened]... ose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died" (Genesis 6:5-7:22).

Why would a loving god speak in riddles that need to be comprehended if we are to avoid spending an eternity in hell ?
I have felt terrorised by that possibility (hell) all my life. I fear for the consequences of questioning it now.[/b]
Not quite. You’re forgetting God's role. God sends us here and he takes us out of here. Millions go back to God every day. This doesn’t make him a murderer it makes him God. If you disagree with this, then you are saying that we should all live here on earth forever. Personally, I’d rather be in Heaven.

No. Christianity is not terrorism. Try reading the scripture.
Matt 22:36-39 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

To get people to pursue him. Reading scripture can never explain God. God has to be experienced to be understood.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Perhaps this is your problem. God did not give us a spirit of fear.
II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.
Fear drives us away from God. This is why you cannot understand.
I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear has torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
I John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
I John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
Try working on your relationship with God instead of going to war with him. You might get farther.

Cool....I like this.The question to me is why would God do this.I think it is because he knew the outcome would be far worse if he did not.

But also,
if God is so loving, why are there infidels in the first place (surely they would be subdued and compelled by God's love)?
If God is omniscient, surely he would have predicted that there would be infidels to kill, so why create them?
However, I believe in God, but I dont believe in religion.
