    I mean the Bible is full of killing and God telling people to kill. Pastors have been full of fire and brimstone for generations. Preaching against immigrants in the US basically since the country was founded, burning witches and calling for slaves to be lynched.

    Having grown up a southern Baptist, I can assure you that religion in the South has always been full of this behavior.

      Ha ha yeah you right about that. Southern Baptists are the old school batshit crazy religious nuts. Still are, really.

      The Old Testament really fucked things up. That’s where you find all the serious, wtf killings. I forget why they created a whole other “New” Testament though.
