I enjoy saying inflammatory things like "Jesus was a total cock" because I've had his supposedly loving and enlightened teachings shoved down my throat too many times. No more pissed-off atheist than a former fundamentalist who used to carry her Bible to school.
I'm really sick of people wanting to pick and choose the teachings they like while brushing the sick, disgusting ones under the rug, all the while telling me that it's Christians who have screwed up, but Jesus was a good guy.
I recognize the Bible has been translated many times. I'm just saying that even in his own words according to the New Testment, he's not a particularly loving or peaceful man.
I don't even think he existed; he's probably a composite based on a bunch of religious nuts of the era.
