What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

From beginning to end, the bible is all about using fear of nonexistent beings — monsters under the bed, monsters in the closet — to control the minds and behavior of people gullible enough to believe evil nonsense.

In the Old Testament you could be stoned to death, for thinking independently.

And thus coupled with OBEY! is the parallel dictate “Never, ever, think for yourself!”

Why do subpar women think that they are nines and tens?

In the New Testament, you will go to an infinitely cruel, purposeless “hell” for thinking independently.

“Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Making love is evil, unless sanctioned by marriage. Of course the vast majority of christians have sex outside marriage.

Do you think all these charges that have been brought against Trump are just a coincidence? If he was such a big threat why did they wait 3 years to bring these charges? Or is this all just election interference?

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

OBEY!

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

What does it mean when a guy says he's afraid of falling for someone else after going through heartbreaks?

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!

The bible proposes nonsense as “the wisdom of god”:

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

Women wearing men’s clothes is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christian women have worn pants.

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?

Sexual desire (“lust”) is evil, and to desire someone is the same as committing adultery:

Why do Trumpers and MAGA Republicans care who is trans and who is gay ECT? If they didn't have a personal interest in transgenderism it shouldn't matter so much then, right?

What happens if one doesn’t OBEY! the dictates of the creators of such nonsense?

The central theme of the bible, in a single word, is:
