    I never said the Bible was consistent… It is actually one of the things I find fascinating about the whole thing. How does turn the other cheek square with old testament violence?

    I know the easy answer, that it is all just made up, but even so these passages are two thousand years or so old and have been a major part of societies and cultures, which included many great thinkers and theologens more knowledgeable than me or any random person online.

    Even if this is all a two thousand year old, self perpetuating delusion, that itself would be fascinating…
