Unimaginative Uber-Literalists who can't see beyond the verbiage in order to assess its intent 2000 years ago and its applicability and utility 2000 years after the words were uttered?no you dont, you believe in a warped and twisted extremist version of the teachings of christ. This shows when you treat his people with the utmost hatred and spite.
How to people following Jesus' inclusion of all people and spirit of forgiveness find so much hate for others and presume they and only they will be saved through Jesus? Such people make a mockery of his ministry and sacrifice. Even people that don't believe that Jesus was the "son" of god still admire his teachings and approach caring for all mankind.
Why are there so many bible trumpeters using Jesus to attack others?
