It's like Stockholm Syndrome with these people.

They're in love with their oppressor.

Oppress, verb: keep (someone) in subservience and hardship, especially by the unjust exercise of authority.

Does not force subservience (it's completely voluntary)
Does not cause hardship (the world might, but Christian peace and joy help alleviate it)
Does not use authority unjustly (it's only used for good)

Remind me again how Jesus is an oppressor?

So "worship Jesus or burn in hell" is not forced subservience?

The Christian church, supposed house of god, demanding money from people with too little already does not cause hardship?

How about all the hate spread by Christians, how god hates f*gs, and how they should disown their own children for being LGBTQ+? No hardships there either?

If you think Christianity does not use authority unjustly then you must be blind or ignorant.

Jesus is dead, the guy was a socialist hippy. And still people use him and his so called word to bring awful things to this world. The mass illusion that he is somehow still alive and judging us has done more wrong to this world than right.

"It's free will" /s

same energy as

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

That doesn't really hold because people don't choose to be Christian because of their fear of Hell (or at least most don't.) They choose to be Christian because they're raised in it and/or they see something that they want to be a part of. The threat of Hell mostly serves as a "why you should tell others" more than a "why you should stick with it."
The Bible says not to give reluctantly or in response to pressure. Shame on any churches who demand money from the impoverished.
Is the Nigerian royal family to blame for all the money stolen by its princes? Hatred is not of the Bible, which should be obvious to anyone who has more than a passing familiarity.
I was talking about Jesus, not the collective actions of everyone who claims to be a Christian.
It is terrible that people misuse the Bible in such a way, yeah. But if you throw the Bible away, you're more likely to stop the actual charity work done by legit churches. The judgmental haters who use the Bible as an excuse for their evil acts are still going to be judgmental haters perpetrating evil acts.

Are you kidding? Most of the book is God or one of his agents telling humanity "act right or I'm gonna smack you around".

Humanity acts wrong and God turns then into salt or kills them in a million other ways.

Forcing subservience comes through demanding allegiance and obedience else you go to hell. As an omnipotent, omniscient being, that means God does it specifically for fun
