well here the I-M world if you have negative evil thoughts evil and negativity will happen to you...does that mean that i-m is negative? Or saying if you don't follow i-m and think positive thoughts you will suffer consequences?
Do doctors say if you don't follow healthy eating habits you'll get fat or sick?

"the bible" doesn't outline them then declare them..... as I mentioned, the bible is a mini-library, not a book you read cover to cover with a beginning and end...though it is roughly outline that way....it represents different revaltions and insights
Imagine a 'bible' (mini library) of physics...it would have newtons laws....then einsteins then quantum mechanics..why? they contradict each other, over ride one another....there might even be alternative views from other physicists in there as well....
But again you stated unequivocally that the bible was vengeance based. Honestly, have you read it have you read any gospels in their entirety ? Or have you just read cherry picked quotes in "Christianity sucks' type articles kind of like what Neocons do when the quote the Koran?

forgive the the pop psychology but...it does sound like your faith in something or someone was misued or abused at one time. . ....I was saying that in general, many atheist seem like disillusioned religious people rather than someone who absolutely doesn't believe God exists...
