>>The entire religion is based off of the ramblings of Paul, who I'm sorry to say is a blatant Ray Kroc type business (cult?) shark.
This is overly reductive. Paul's teachings were primarily guides on how to structure a "church" composed of diverse peoples. It's good to remember that Paul was dealing with off-the-wall heresies pretty much everywhere, with people trying to get their foot in the door early by injecting whatever false teaching they could to benefit themselves among this new cultural group. A lot of what he wrote isn't meant to be taken as "how to be a Christian" as much as it is "how to run the Church".
>>Hilariously un-White and anti-Western. Not even sure how it caught on in Europe.
Perhaps. And the answer is a long one of history mostly not contained in the actual Bible itself.
>>Revelation is the dumbest shit anyone has ever written.
Prophecy tends to be that way until the stuff in it actually happens. There's much open debate (and has been for 2000 years) as to whether or not all/some/most/none of Revelation's events have already transpired or not.
>>No Holy Trinity, turns out that's just made up.
Actually, no. The creation story in Genesis uses plural pronouns, John chapter 1 makes explicit reference to multiple divine persons, and Matthew 28 has Jesus instructing followers to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There's plenty of evidence for a trinitarian view, which is why it won out very early on in Church history when the unitarian view was on the rise.
>>Turns out there's nothing in here saying you can't have multiple wives, you're just cucked out of a harem by literal feminists and cucks.
The command against having multiple wives is given to kings specifically, although it's debated whether this is an actual command or just a suggestion. Clearly, the kings of Judah that were recorded as being "righteous" still had multiple wives, but that doesn't necessarily mean what they were doing was right either.
>>Turns out there's nothing in here saying you should have a celibate priesthood or monastic orders, seems like it was just an excuse for homos and dykes to get together alone.
Correct about the first part. Celibacy was mostly done as an extension of Jesus and Paul saying it was good to remain single if one could handle it. The more common modern interpretation of this, however, is that this is figurative language to emphasize how difficult Jesus and Paul acknowledge celibacy to be for most people. The "homos and dykes" thing is more likely the result of a large group of people trying to repress their God-given desires for procreation.
>>Turns out nothing in here says you have to abstain from alcohol, that's just something various protestant sects made up.
There are a few verses that say to avoid alcohol. However, they are all proverbs about self-control. This is just like the celibacy thing, something taken beyond what is commanded.
