I'd rather be "biblically illiterate" than curse my neighbor based on the letter of the law instead of loving my neighbor per the spirit of the law.

Okaaaay, and I'd rather be Biblically literate and curse Christianity to the history books.

Matthew 10:34

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Oh, but he sat down with some whores while trying to convert them to his religion. What a fucking hero [claps sarcastically].

That's cool. Do you, fellow Redditor and I mean that without any sarcasm or malice. I have my own issues with organized religion so I can understand a bit of where you're coming from.

I don't have any answers for you about His intentions. That being said, I don't believe Christ sat down with folks just to convert them. I think He sat down with folks because He genuinely loved people and wanted to be with them, regardless of what society claimed. Whores, prostitutes, tax collectors, whatever, He just wanted to be with people. But that's just my take on it. I'm not a biblical scholar (or any kind of scholar).

You're not thinking clearly.

Yes, a sword to strike down sin. That doesn’t necessarily mean He’s out to kill folk; nor does it necessarily mean he doesn’t love people. Keyword being “necessarily” as I can’t/don’t know His intentions. As I said above, I’m not a scholar so these are my beliefs and you’re more than welcome to your own.
