— here is my follow-up

people get overly upset at the Torah. "it is filled with violence" … "it allows slavery" etc. the entire purpose of the 5 Books and Judges, Prophets ans Chronicles is to show in rather open light – i.e. not really hiding anything that there are consequences from choice — and despite the historic facts how others thought the Bible was telling them exactly Gods word, the truth is, it is Gods words, the thing is those that abused religion left out the 10s of thousands of "if" — choice. If one reads about how religion has been used horribly throughout history, they see that the abusers left out one of the most important words in all of Tenach "if".
