A P*ssed Off Southern Pastor Tells It Like It Is

[Manifestor_of_Light]

41. Jesus said lots of nasty, irrational and hateful stuff. When will a Christian admit that?

For example he cursed out a fig tree for not fruiting out of season.
He said "I come not in peace but with a sword." He said that he came to set families apart.
He said he had not one problem with the law of the old testament and what the god of the old testament did as far as mass murder.
He condemned many thousands to fiery deaths for their sins. He condemned entire groups of people for not listening to his preaching. Condemning large groups of people to hell, and saying he was speaking in parables to confuse people, seemed to be one of his favorite activities.

There are hundreds of examples of these. Why is there no Christian denomination that says, "We reject these statements as evil and hateful. We only recognize the kind, peaceful and loving things Jesus said, like The Sermon on the Mount."

Why is there NO Christian denomination that will remove the hateful and irrational stories in the Bible? Why do all Christians refuse to acknowledge the hateful, evil, cruel things Jesus allegedly said, instead of saying, "Oh that was a metaphor, he didn't mean that in the literal plain reading that most people would get from it."

WHY? I am waiting.
