    It irks me when people try and counter this kind of stuff by arguing that Jesus was all about love and peace and kum-bah-yah blah blah blah. Because

    1. Trying to mount arguments based on logic with these people is an exercise in futility
    2. If you’ve read the book, he kinda really wasn’t
    3. His “teachings” are either the fanciful musings of some illiterate shepherds, or state-sanctioned propaganda, and either way, are kind of worthless from a philosophical or moral standpoint
    4. Most importantly, religion has absolutely no place in government, and that’s what we should be saying every time something like “the monthly Pentagon Christian religious service, headed by one of the highest officials in the federal government” crops up in the news, instead of this pedantic attempt to paint Jesus as some peaceful figure
