Kill Priests of Other Religions
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD's people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people. And all the people of the land went over to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They demolished the altars and smashed the idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Jehoiada the priest stationed guards at the Temple of the LORD. Then the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, the guards, and all the people of the land escorted the king from the Temple of the LORD. They went through the gate of the guards and into the palace, and the king took his seat on the royal throne. (2 Kings 11:17-19 NLT)

Chistians follow Jesus, not Jewish traditions or laws. What you've cited is from the Old Testament which is full of Jewish law. If, as a Christian, I decided to follow Jewish law, I'd then have to convert to Judaism. I'm pretty sure they don't murder people either. I'm pretty sure there are not rival altars or pagan priests causing havok either.
As for following all or none of the Bible, that's a very strange way of looking at things especially when it comes to faith choices. Your passage doesn't really order anyone to murder anyway. It just says they did.

You keep quoting from the Old Testament, "the law," but it doesn't apply today:
Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an end to the law with all its commands and rules. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.
Galatians 2:16 We know that no one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. That is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ, not by obeying the law. No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
Galatians 2:21 I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
God's commands are not all for everyone. Each must be understood in its context. For instance, God told Hosea (1:2) “Go. Get married to a woman who will commit adultery. Take as your own the children who will be born as a result of her adultery. Marry her because the people of the land are guilty of the worst kind of adultery. They have not been faithful to me.”
Obviously, this is a command intended for you. You must go out and marry a hooker at once. ;-)..... Get my point now?

Murderous abrahamic-trash. Why on earth would they want this drivel to live on? Every now and then a koresh will pop up spouting this murderous drivel and set off on a killing spree. The only way out is to burn every bible - new and old testament, and koran, and re-educate these sheep on how to be human.

I've killed none.
Don't presume someone to be Christian just because he or she says they are.
Plus, you've got to get out of the old testament to pose argumentative questions. The old covenant died with Christ.

How is it that you critics don't study enough to know the difference between Christians and Jews?
