Congenial Christianity David Napier

'Anger, arson, beatings, blindness, deception, drowning, fighting, floods, fornication, hanging, idols, incest, incurable diseases, leprosy, multiple partners, murder, slaughter of men women and children, supernatural beings, torture...' Is this the next Netflix or Amazon Prime series - nope - it's the Bible! What would Christians say if there was a film based on the above list? There would be outrage, myriad letters flowing through the doors of film industry, TV, radio stations... I doubt it! I remember when Monty Python's The Life of Brian first came on to the circuit. Trying to get churches, let alone individual Christians to sign a petition was a nightmare! The bible is about real life, yet when anyone questions it, the 'tut tuts' are far from being silent. How many Christians have honestly thought about the belief they say they have, and what it is based on? How do we 'defend' the millions slaughtered through wars or civil unrest, or the millions drowned, millions with diseases.
