First, to irateplatypus:
You cannot take some and leave the rest when considering a religious text, unless you would not follow the religion as "the Hand of God wrote it". I used 3 scattered examples because to list them all would take up far more space than I am prepared to use on a message board.

Regarding your Bible quotes; yeah, so what? The Bible isn't a peaceful book. Things like evil deserve to be treated harshly. The 60s version of peace and love is for a bunch of peaceniks without a backbone! The world is a bad place, and sometimes violence is necessary to defeat injustice.

And by evil you mean women, bastards, people who piss on walls, people who have their genitalia injured, gays, and anyone who has sex outside of marriage (including raped women)? Yes those are evil evil people and they should all be killed according to the Bible. What you said is how the Bible gets used as justification for murder and wars. Hitler himself often quoted from the Bible, because he was a devoute Christian and based many of his violent acts on the Bible. But the people he killed were "evil" according to the Bible, so that makes what he did ok since we need to use violence to defeat the injustice that those faggots and adulterers bring upon this great Crhstian land. You need to go hang out with Pat Robertson.
