Answer 2

A good place to start would be with the way the bible has been misinterpreted to give us the impression that God is judgmental and punishing when this directly conflicts with the supposed words of Jesus contained in the bible.

This is one of the most blatant misinterpretations in the bible and it is the simplest to refute. The bible actually does the work for you.

If you have the time you may want to check out some of the books that Bart Ehrmin has written. They are all great.

Bart D. Ehrman is a New Testament scholar and an expert on early Christianity. He received his Ph.D and M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary where he studied under Bruce Metzger. He currently serves as the chairperson of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was the President of the Southeast Region of the Society of Biblical Literature, and worked closely as an editor on a number of the Society's publications. Currently, he co-edits the series New Testament Tools and Studies.

Much of Ehrman's writing has concentrated on various aspects of Walter Bauer's thesis that Christianity was always diversified or at odds with itself. Ehrman is often considered a pioneer in connecting the history of the early church to textual variants within biblical manuscripts and in coining such terms as "Proto-orthodox Christianity." In his writings, Ehrman has turned around textual criticism. From the time of the Church Fathers, it was the heretics (Marcion, for example) that were charged with tampering with the biblical manuscripts. Ehrman theorizes that it was actually the Orthodox that "corrupted" the manuscripts. His scholarly output is extensive. He has authored or contributed to nineteen books.
