Explain further?

Surely you must know what the Christians teach people? That many perfectly normal and good things are wrong, that normal human acts are sins (and how they behave to the "sinners" - even from their own), the way they teach it to children, etc?

  I do. Christians I've known simply teach faith in Jesus, expressed through baptism, repentance and actions of love. > the way they teach it to children They teach the same to children too.. I hope. But , of course there will be deception and the bible clearly states that too. Thankfully, It provides a solutions. > That many perfectly normal and good things are wrong, that normal human acts are sins Can you share examples? People are falliable. My self included. Probably best to read the foundations of the bible itself and then judge. Its like coding. Surely the person who started with the foundations is much more equipped to handle the framework or library in comparison to the person with no foundations and just jumping straight into a framework haha.

I'm sure there are many passages that people can point to in the Bible that can be quite fairly charged with being unhelpful or morally objectionable - for example those that relate to what fathers should do to daughters who act out in particular ways, or about homosexuality. Of course you can reasonably argue that it is not so much the words themselves that cause harm, but the way that they are wielded by people. You can say similar things about all sort of words or things people wield - from the US constitution through to assault rifles, and such assertions are to various degrees sensible or ridiculous. Others might point out other important passages in the bible that encourage peace, or kindness, or other good virtue. Of course these passages might also be wielded in more or less virtuous ways - there are many acts done in kindness that are not kindly received for example. Personally I'm not a big fan of the Bible, but I'm not sure it is intrinsically a bad object. I think that the claims of knowledge and systems of power created around it are highly concerning and that power in all forms provides the opportunity for abuse, the manifestations we are far too well acquainted with today.

take Galileo Galilei as an example. And all the people after him that were robbed of his potential further inventions.
