    Jesus was in fact the one to say “yeah all this old rules don’t matter, just focus on these two: don’t be a dick and don’t be a fucking dick, god damn”

      And that is why they crucified him, The Old Testament Repeatedly says “Be a dick against gays, infidels and non-virgin women who are not your wife. And whoever comes to say otherwise, be the most absolute dick against him”.

        But even the new testament says to fear god, why would a all loving god want us to fear it? The abrahamic god is not all loving at all

      Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

      Matthew 5:17

        Matthew, particularly, was so obsessed with this idea that he even made up new scriptures that didn’t exist and said Jesus fulfilled them.

        The law of the prophets was a costly covenant between old-testament god and humanity. Or, you know, whatever subgroup was in charge of translations at the time.
        The “fulfillment” mentioned is a single lump sum of holy lamb blood in place of the never-actually-complete exchange of not wearing blended fabrics, not getting tattoos, and sacrificing your firstborn on a rock in the mountains. And slaughtering prisoners of war who you tricked into getting circumcised as a condition of their surrender so that they would be vulnerable.
