Well, there is the strange:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple."
But for the most part he leaves god to say all the terrible things like wiping out towns and tribes and killing everyone except for young females who have not known men. Sort of like a good cop/bad cop thing.

Quote: John 13:34-35New International Version (NIV)
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Well that certainly sounds nice but what has that got to do with the reality of all the hatred and bigotry expressed by so many christians in the US today? I don't see how you can love someone while wanting to deny them their basic human rights.
Quote:I find more comfort and direction in the teaching of Jesus than in the hatred of atheists.
That's nice for you but I don't think any atheist cares if you take comfort and direction in anything they say. Your statement is meaningless.
