So funny when I just read your post. I happened when I wanted my question answered to stumble upon a post in the biblical forum about how much God hates sinners etc in detail, and what these sinners are doing for him to hate them so much. I immediately felt like I wasn´t good enough while reading it, cause we are always doing some sin here and there, at least I am :-). Then when I read your post I felt much better again, I think I prefer the loving God instead of the hating God really. Did you ask God about this by the way, what you are now mentioning about the bible/scriiptures etc enslaving people?
