Have you ever met a Christian that followed every teaching of Jesus? How about:
Turn the other cheek?
Judge not lest ye be judged?
Giving all you have to the poor?
Jesus was a pacifist. No pre-emptive strikes. No invasions. The typical Christian is anything but.
The early church ran by the 12 apostles was, in essence, communistic. They pooled all their money and resources and split the total between them. Annanias and Saphira were KILLED by the holy spirit for lying about holding some of their money back (it's all in the bible).
Most Christians in America would spit on you if you suggest they become a Communist.

You quote bible verse as if you knew what you are talking about.
How about learning it with understanding instead of criticizing.
To turn the other cheek means that if you tell a preacher that their faith is wrong, and, lay out on them why they are wrong, and the preacher smacks you in the face, than you should turn your cheek because you insult that preacher.
But, if your walking down the street and you smack a Christian, then that Christian should deck you one.

Because we Little God sydrome. Jesus told us we are joint heirs with him. Jesus is King of kings, so that makes up King and Queens and we get the big head. But God is just the opposite. The bigger you are in Christ the more humble and subservant but we( fleshly been on the be the Big wigs

Who said i am violent?
By the way, Zod, God saved Noah and his family from the Great Flood...why do you think He did?
A humanist with a plan is like bees making honey and having no use for it.

****Okay, I want to request that every single Christian that is giving this person the time of day by answaring his questions make time today by praying for him. Say.....6pmEST. All of us together need to pray for him. And especially if he has any children. Okay? Everyone. 6pm eastern standard time.****

Because we are human and we still sin since we are not perfect.
