OP has some kind of personal problem with Christianity, or he would not be so upset about the teaching. He has not revealed that hangup to us, so we
can not fully understand where he is coming from.
I have personally seen Jesus Christ, as have others I have met in my life. It is not a question of faith with me anymore. My testimony is here:

If you have been maligned by Christians, please don't let their malpractice affect your confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ. As history will
tell you, no matter what the belief, whenever people get absolute power, they become corrupted. I believe that happens to those who are not truly
saved. If you are truly saved, your life changes and you love your fellow man. You would do anything to help them.
If you could eradicate this faith, which you can't, you would eradicate one of the biggest sources of good on earth. Would that work better for you?
If not, let's take away some of the benefits you now receive because of this greater good:
Keep working on weekends.
Women stop voting or being treated humanely, be treated as property.
Eliminate the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence because the men of faith would not have faith.
Eliminate the Magna Carta, the British version of the rights of men, the first paper delivering democracy to the common man.
Re-institute slavery.
Re-institute debtors prison.
Re-institute the death penalty.
Eliminate charitable giving.
Bring back torture.
Eliminate usury laws.
Eliminate laws reflecting moral conduct.
Tear up the Mayflower Compact.
Keep the Puritans in England.
Prevent Christopher Columbus from sailing.
Massacre all the natives on all the discovered continents.
Allow all religious views, including those involving cannibalism and pedophilia, polygamy, sacrifice and others.
Let people be cold, lacking compassion, and let them dispatch anyone who disagrees.
To name a few.
Let's turn back the clock. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world?
I don't think so.
