You're just cherry picking, that's why you keep referring to this section or that verse, and ignoring the others that contradict it.

In most cases the Bible is not accurate, simply because it's not teaching anything that is based on anything real. It cannot be validated as true or false, most people know this, even many religious people.

Remember Mach, there is a difference between a religion that is perverted for violence, and religion that explicitly calls for violence. That is why radical islam is more dangerous than radical christianity.

What!? Religion is bad.
Religions used to incite violence are bad.
Religions that specifically call for violence are bad.

The bible specifically, in MANY places, shows us the Lords way is one of violence. The Bible you reference, is just as bad, admit it.

What about this love your neighbor ****? How about kiling women and children for made up books like the bible?
