so, God's laws are grievous?

Based on the KJV Bible what is a sin?
In the OLD testament, a sin is just an "act" that is against the given law.
In the NEW testament, a sin is also a "thought" about an act,
even if that act is not followed through upon. [KJV, Matthew 5:27-28]
Jesus brought in "a more strict" interpretation of the old laws, and required his followers to
"be more righteous than even the Pharisees." [KJV, Matthew 5:20]

Yeah, God tells us who to poke and who not to especially in Deuteronomy, but he lusted after a 13 year old Jewish girl, knocked her up and then tried to cover it up by marrying her off to an older Jewish carpenter. And then tells us we are going to hell?
Pretty sure Adam and Eve weren't married either
From BlueJacket
Eve was a clone of Adam, being taken and created from his rib. If the stories are true, what does that make humans?
What can I research in religions to see that maybe they can't be proven?

We're talking about religions not standardized testing. Religions can't be proved as far as I'm aware.
So, if we get rid of religions, is it possible for the world to then be free from the actions of corrupt minds?

We are told not to judge others. It is none of our business what goes on in the bedroom. The only real sin is causing pain to our fellow man. The amount of pain religious people have inflicted on the alphabet community is the real "sin" here.
I thought that facts were only a product of reality, wouldn't it be better to look for the truth so that facts are explained?

There's nothing you could research, that's why they can't be proven true. Religions are based on faith not fact.
So, a life that is subject to death is reality? Is that where the flow is ultimately headed?

Wake up to reality you fools and realize that life is hell and stop using some mystical God as a safe space or something to help save your feelings or whatever, just live your lives and go with the flow.

Oddly enough Moses had pre marital sex right there in the bible, he certainly wasnt maried before he lay with ol whats her name in one of her fathers tents ...and hes lookin after the pearly gates
Pretty sure Adam and Eve weren't married either
But, I thought that the bible was making a truth claim and just involves a series of claimed facts?

If you're looking for the facts of reality then you have to ignore religion since it's not based in fact but on faith.
