Christians hate Jesus
As you must know, I have begun quite a hobby of collecting examples of the ingenuity and vim with which Christianity attacks Christ.
Here are two more, from, as often, a Christian young-people’s messageboard I visit.
First, we learn of Jesus’s teaching, “Render to Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and to God that which is God’s,” that it is of no meaning; for — our Christian exegites — was not “Caesar made by God”?
Second, we learn of Jesus’s instruction, “Resist not evil; but to whomever shall strike you on your right cheek turn the other also; love your enemies; bless those who curse you; do good to those who hate you, despitefully use you, and persecute you,” that it is of obsolete meaning. Jesus was not “against violence” and knew “a war must come” — a long and holy war — but, for love of his friends the apostles, he wished to preserve them from death in this war and so gave them a lifetime’s reprieve.

Needless to say, our Lord was as silly in his planning as in his teaching, for the apostles all — save John — died deaths most premature and painful although they never raised a spear.
And what about violence causes Christians to leap to defend it, always? Is it truly so sacred to cause another being to shriek or weep in pain or death?
