When I'm reading Bible, grief is the main emotion I feel. I sorrow for all these poor guys who were targets of God's wrath, all that burning sulfur and floods and Egyptian plagues and constand fighting, and bleeding Jesus and Judas who hanged himself and Apostles beaten and executed... It's almost like these pages smell of blood. And later there was inquisition and crusades and innumerable martyrs...
I'm a gentle kind of person. I'm against violence to animals, say nothing of people. I'm against corporal punishment and I never had it in childhood. My parents always told me all problems in this world should be resolved with words, not with your fists and weapons - and it works for me. I think everyone is good deep inside their hearts.
How can I convince myself to accept the way God treated his own kids?
