"All Christians Must Be Held Accountable For This Guy"

Which all Christians I've ever met simply ignore. Unless it justifies their cruelty. Yes, it is in the New Testament and alleged to have been said by Jesus. He said he approves of the law and the prophets of the Old Testament. "I come not in peace but with a sword...I have come to set families apart(basically)".
I could list more but then I get accused of cutting and pasting from an anti-bible site, when it is THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE. Their LITERAL words that are part of their holy scriptures and there is no doubt that a lot of what Jesus said was quite mean and cruel.
He really enjoyed telling people they were going to hell for various reasons, like not listening to him preach.
Another example:Cussing out a fig tree for acting like a fig tree, and not fruiting out of season.
The United States is far more religious than Europe and in some parts of the country there are churches on every corner. The flavor may be different, as with Mormons all over the West, or Baptists in the South, or no-fun Lutherans in the North, but it's in a lot of places.
I see women with cross earrings, cross necklaces, cross charm bracelets, and purses with a six inch tall cross on the side in rhinestones, T-shirts with stuff about Jesus or a bible verse, and I think, "Vampire problem?"
And they assume that you think just like they do, because they are indoctrinated and can't imagine any other way to be, or are afraid of nonconformists. It would never occur to them to question their beliefs and arrive at a spirituality that is right for them, instead of accepting what they've been told. I've already been told I'm going to hell for "worshiping Buddha". I had to explain to this person that Buddha was not a god, he was an enlightened man and he is NOT worshiped like Jesus. He is revered as a wise person. This guy thought he knew what he was talking about, but he didn't. His reaction to my explanation: "Ohhhhhhhhh".
These people don't want to learn about other religions because if it's not about Jesus, it's bad. My neighbor told me that "Buddhism is like voodoo" and crossed her forearms in front of her like she was holding up a cross to ward off the bad juju. No shit, lady. Completely ignorant and stupid and proud of it.
They don't want to know about where I get my spirituality from. All they know is what some uneducated preacher tells them. They don't read their bibles either. I know more about what's in it than they do. And I graduated from a Presbyterian liberal arts university and had to take some extremely deep religion courses along the lines of anthropology and sociology of religion.
We don't go to church and there are no other social outlets in town. I learned to avoid the book club because they talked about God and Christianity all the time. I thought that was what church was for. So they make up crap about us.
You still haven't addressed my statements taken verbatim from the four canonical gospels of the New Testament, where Jesus says cruel and hateful stuff. There are quite a few examples.
No True Scotsman Fallacy invoked in Post Number 69 by randys1.
Logical Fallacy. No True Scotsman would put sugar on his oatmeal.
Both these assholes have horrible trigger discipline.
Especially in certain regions.
Yet curiously, we are lectured on this board by many individuals (who are largely, comfortable middle-class white Americans-not that it matters! 
) that the real threat to America or "the West" is the world's nearly 2 billion Muslims-the vast majority of whom have no power or influence over the United States' affairs, or the affairs of other "Western" countries (or even their own, in many cases).
You will forgive me if I think that that smells like ethno-centric, chauvinistic bullshit.
Regent University is a private coeducational interdenominational Christian university located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. The university was founded by Pat Robertson in 1978 as Christian Broadcasting Network University, and changed its name to Regent University in 1989
a lot of christians voted for bush because he is a christian
Bush the christian hired a bunch of these guys to write and enforce the laws that WE All HAVE TO FOLLOW
According to Regent University, more than 150 of its graduates had been hired by the federal government during the George W. Bush presidency[41] including dozens in Bush's administration.[57] As it was previously rare for alumni to go into government, Boston Globe journalist Charlie Savage suggested that the appointment of Office of Personnel Management director Kay Coles James, the former dean of Regent's government school, caused this sharp increase in Regent alumni employed in the government.[41] An article about a Regent graduate who interviewed for a government position and Regent's low school rankings were cited as an example of the Bush administration hiring applicants with strong conservative credentials but weaker academic qualifications and less civil rights law experience than past candidates in the Civil Rights Division.[41] In addition to Savage, several other commentators made similar assertions.[42][58][59][60] The Washington Post contrasted the employment of Regent employees by Bush to the hiring practices of his successor Barack Obama who tended to select from higher secular colleges.[
