There seem to be two camps of Jesus followers.

One who follows the Holly Ghost and ignores the horrible bits in the Bible like Latino Catholics. The laws are blended upon their hearts, through Jesus Christ consciousness. Jesus is beautiful, intelligent and kind man who would not beat his sheep only the money changers. Sound like an anarchist.

Two- The overly rightousness who take much written as ultimate true and knowledge and beat their sheep. Who grant Julius Caesar what is Caesar from written in the King James Bible. Who are merging with the Military and politics. Who create 90% of the world wars, prisons and slavery.

Most religion have bloodshed in their history in the name of GOD.

To be fair, most moderates barely read the Bible and even then, only the good parts.

I was in the same boat until during a crisis of fate I read the Bible and saw the horrible acts god committed to everyone. That help me break free from my “religion”.

I have to let Christians off the hook here because I don’t think many of them even know what’s in their cherished book.

Exactly! This is what to expect out of the Abrahamic religions and even beyond.

All religions are peaceful when they do not have the biggest army in the region.
The problem of religions is that you can go as deep as you want and deeper you go, more things you can justify using it.
All old civilizations had their struggle and even for serious people that study the theology (as literature or cultural aspects) can say that there are the historical tales and the doctrinal part. To mix both you have examples for any action basically.
Even the genocides were only for that period, those actions are not to be repeated without God itself asking for it (discuss if YHWH is a good or bad character is not the point here).
But of course, you can take it as an example of what to do with infidels, then you are "correct" in doing bad things.

And think with me, if you start with the (false) premisse that a god created and has control of every thing, this god is the definition of things, whatever it says that is good IS good, he is above philosophy or logic. He is the player in a world of sims, we are not even "real" for him, we are only toys that have some limited freedom.

" Those who merely choose to ignore wrongs by their inactions SUPPORT and Condone those very wrongs." -William Anthony.

Just like Islam! Their are no moderate religious believers!

I sometimes see a similar meme with a Muslim holding the Quran...all the same to me...

Abdicating personal responsibility for one's actions...

HA HA... That is very good. Another name for these people is called "I am a dumb fuck."

A a secular Jew, we've been on the short end of the stick.
