I agree with the idea that careful study and a life of piety make people more compassionate. Those who read only the surface will either cherrypick the verses that match their own inclinations or reinforce their incredulity. But the deeper currents change a persons life for the better.

Don't tell me, you're not cherrypicking. Otherwise you'd have to buy the whole Package. Including the OT, which isn't so much about peacemakers, unless you understand it the Dirty Harry way. You'd also have to buy the bringing a sword quote as well as the one about not having come to abolish the law but to fulfill.
