What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

Making love is evil, unless sanctioned by marriage. Of course the vast majority of christians have sex outside marriage.

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

In the New Testament, you will go to an infinitely cruel, purposeless “hell” for thinking independently.

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:

Why are Christians quick to say that there are a lot the gay Christians that exist NOW and use that to pretend that Christianity is just loving to gays when the last 40 years of my life they been horrible?

Sexual desire (“lust”) is evil, and to desire someone is the same as committing adultery:

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Women wearing men’s clothes is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christian women have worn pants.

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

OBEY!

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

And thus coupled with OBEY! is the parallel dictate “Never, ever, think for yourself!”

Why does it seem that Quora's "moderators" base their moderations on personal beliefs and views by deleting answers that are only violating their personal feelings?

What happens if one doesn’t OBEY! the dictates of the creators of such nonsense?

In the Old Testament you could be stoned to death, for thinking independently.

Is it possible for buyers to negotiate after an inspection if the appraisal is lower than expected?

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?

From beginning to end, the bible is all about using fear of nonexistent beings — monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet — to control the minds and behavior of people gullible enough to believe evil nonsense.
