but the problem is the Old Testament treats people terribly, where enemies of god are tortured and killed, compared to the new testament which preaches freedom, honesty, empathy, and generosity.

Erm.. it preaches being "slaves for Christ", with very few safeguards on what are good boundaries for leaders to have over you. I agree on the ideals, but the power dynamics also "treat people terribly"

Yeah that's how religions work, they're all ass. My statement was not a claim that Christianity was good or justified, it was that the Old Testament was particularly more ass than the new one.
