It's a nice message, and sounds like christianity is all peace and love and stuff. The problem is that's not the only thing he said. And those who believe he's the same guy as the one from the old testament should not ignore the stuff he did before he came down and started trying to preach humility and kindness and forgiveness.
Jesus Christ contradicted himself a lot in the Bible. Which is pretty normal for the Bible. Hence why cherry picking is required.
The Bible is a very useful document for tyrants, because it is so full of contradictions that one can cherry pick it any way one wants to justify one's evil actions in the name of God and Goodness. I doubt it was designed for that purpose (it seems like it was garbled together by lots of different idiots, to be honest), but it certainly can be used and has been used for that purpose.
