    Wasn’t Jesus supposed to be like, a pacifist? I also vaguely remember some bible verses talking about meekness and acting with kindness towards others, even your enemies.

    But I guess that rhetoric doesn’t fly with the “alpha male” crowd who’s just itching for any excuse to shoot someone.

      Sometimes he was. (Matthew 5:9)

      Other times he was “if you don’t have a sword, sell your clothes to buy a sword” (Luke 22:36-38)

      .

      That’s the “great” thing about the Bible, its got enough cobtradictions that you can make it support pretty much anything you want it to.
