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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Why don’t people show patriot Donald Trump the respect he deserves? He’s successful in business, politics, and with the ladies.

OBEY!

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?

Have you ever heard of the god Priapus being the same as the god Phosphorus?

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!

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

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

What do you think about the NFA full auto band? Weapons built before 1986 can be transferred and registered? But we can't have an 87? But older weapons tend to be far more powerful. I think we should drop it. Input?

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

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