The Bible is so full of hatred and anger. Priests and clerics teach of a false messiah named Jesus and we are forced to believe them. Why do we keep passing this lie on to our children?
Are we all in hell now?

I think the modern version of Christainanity is far removed from the teachings of Jesus as to be a separate religion. This results from the pervertions of Jesus teachings by elitist who want to control people. I have found the more fundamentalist the Chritistian religion the less tolerant they are. Look at the Baptist preacher who leads protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq. They applaud and think this is god paying the US back for having tolerance of gays. Sick, if there is a hell, I hope these types of people get there first.

Depends on your perspective.
If someone has forced you to believe, then I'm sorry. Jesus never intended for that to happen
Yes, the Bible has plenty of hate and anger. God is a God of might wrath, limited patience, but unlimited grace.
Jesus is not a false messiah.
No and no.

The thing about God Almighty is that He is real and not subject to anyone's interpretation. The Bible is His inspired word, whether one believes it or not is their own choice. One thing that God respects is the freedom of choice so much so that it has taken excruciating patience for Him to let the devil go on living just so that each one of us can choose. His love is there for anyone who will come to him through Christ.
Those who reject Him though will have to bear the consequences of their decisions. And the consequences are not pretty ask the Jews.
HE IS KNOWN AS A JEALOUS GOD. Frankly i don't want to get on His bad side,I'd rather live under the shadow of His wings believing His word, partaking of His kingdom

Wow, your outlook on life is beautiful. Have you ever considered that if it weren't for the Bible, where the world would be today? Imagine it worse. The Bible teaches love, compassion and how to do the right things. You are lucky that there are as many Christians as there are. If not, everyone might have the same outlook on life as you.

Some Christians appear backwards to those that have lost their faith. You cannot be forced to believe in anything. I used to be a vehemant atheist, but there is a say, "God doesn't care whether you believe in Him, He believes in you."
Maybe Christianity was full of hate and violence--about five centuries ago. But I've never heard of people being executed for trying to leave certain other religions that I won't mention by name.

I am a Christian and not backwards.
I do not teach Hatred and if you are in hell now, maybe you should read about the Messiah named Jesus.
