RE: Why I will never give up Christianity

[samupaha]

I have many problems with christianity. Here are few:

• Why God doesn't update the Bible? The message is so unclear that christianity has been broken down to hundreds of different sects. How can we know which one of them is the right one? By updating the Bible regularly God would keep the message clear so that there would be only one style of christianity.
• That whole thing with zombie-Jesus! WTF? Why did God had to sacrifice his own son to himself (although they were actually one with the Holy Spirit)? Why there is need to sacrifice stuff, especially people? How is it even a sacrifice, if the guy wakes up after a couple of days?
• God is a mass murderer. He slaughters a shitload of people in the Bible. Yeah, some of them deserved it because they behaved badly, but wasn't there really a better way? After all, God could have just said that "hey motherfucker, stop acting bad or I will make you suffer eternally". That would make pretty much everybody to be nicer to each other.
• If humans are designed, do we have free will? If God knows everything, doesn't he also know how every individual human is going to act in every possible situation, which makes God able to predict all decisions humans make during their lives? If we are created by all-knowing God, aren't we just robots without free will?

• Why should anyone update something perfect? Can you update the true?
• LOVE... God is Love...
  John 15:13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

• "stop acting bad or I will make you suffer eternally" actually he said something like that.No?
  Mark 9:43

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

• Knowing what someone will do doesn't mean you decided it!

You don't have to necessarily to update it, but to explain it better. There are hundreds of different christian sects in the world which proves that God's communication style has been massive failure. People don't have any idea how to correctly interpret the message.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

But why God had to sacrifice one of his identities to himself? It just doesn't make any sense. We are not talking about a normal human being here, but a supernatural deity.

"stop acting bad or I will make you suffer eternally" actually he said something like that.No?

No, he didn't say that. Instead he massacred probably millions of people because they didn't do what he wanted. I think that as a creator of the universe God should have had some better alternatives to deal with people. But he just likes to massacre more than have a serious discussion. As an almighty being it shouldn't be too difficult to persuade people act nicely.
