They worship deities
Satanist, why would you want to worship someone who lost a fiddle competition in Georgia
It is in ancient texts
Jesus Christ himself said that "every jot and tittle of the law" would be upheld. And those jots and tittles included tittering homosexuals (I said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, being gay myself).
Actually, Paul very likely had homosexual leanings himself, which terrified him. But you are correct, he didn't follow Christ's (if by Christ you mean Jesus) teachings. In fact, he altered most of them beyond recognition. That accounts, I think, for a lot of the confusion in the modern plethora of Christian sects and viewpoints.
Then I think you are left with wondering what this "Christianity" you speak of really is.

Your elephants

Nope
To me an elephant is just an animal, no reason to worship it more then the wall in the house i stay.
Then again... he may have saved humanity.
But someone who was a follower of, and believed in, those ancient teachings -- the Apostle John -- wrote "God is love".
I think it would be safe to say, that he was way more familiar with those writings, than you.
Based on that alone, I'd say your assessment of the Hebrew Scriptures is founded on misinterpretation, and what you've heard \ read from others. Or am I wrong? Have you studied it?
(If so, do you think your study of Scripture was more thorough than Apostle John's?)

How many years have you studied Buddhism to be able to say something like that, when it is clearly wrong statement ?

Exactly, you started this

Sigh....
Fair enough...
I keep hoping for better from you, for reason, though I thing my hopes are misplaced. Can't remember the other thread at this moment where you try to justify (yet again) the massacre of the Canaanites, but why not just restrict it to the Midianites? Let's go to Numbers 31:1-18....
17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man ]intimately. 18 But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves.
Would it help to ask if you remember that Moses's wife was, by some coincidence, a Midianite?
What basic part of human feeling is so missing in you that you cannot read a sentence like "kill every male among the little ones" and not feel offended to the very core of your being?
And if you are not offended, then I think I must always have been wrong to have ever hoped there was something better in you...

Most atheists realize Buddhists don't worship monkeys or elephants. But, then again, many Buddhists are atheists.
And not many atheists do reach the "black skin curse" thingy. They realize that at least a few Biblical characters already would have been black, because that's where their from. It's a common CE mistake of some Christians though, to make all the characters white and assume such a curse turned skin black.
In my anger, let me repeat that, over and over and over! Nothing in the world could ever make me accept "17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man ]intimately. 18 But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves" and think of it as something "holy and good."
This is wrong, evil, corrupt, unconscionable in every possible way in which I can understand my own humanity. That anyone can consider this to be part of something called "the Good Book" leads me to question their own inner morality. No, not to question it, to deny that they actually have it!
