Christians: What line are you unwilling to cross for God?

[Chad32]

The only answer I ever got to this kind of question is "God wouldn't tell me to do that kind of thing". Which is a dodge, but does tell me that they'd be resistant to doing something horrible if they believed their god was talking to them.

Unfortunately some people do make the news when they do something bad, and give the excuse that their god told them to. Parents taking their kid to a priest to get a demon exorcised, which really means tying them down and torturing them into compliance. Or christians in Africa killing their kids because they think they're witches.

Yeah, I find it amazing that the flood has been turned into a story of god's kindness: saving the animals!

From himself, though. That's the bit people always forget in religion.

Pitching genocide to the kids. Just focus on Noah getting his family and some animals on the ark. Gloss over all the other people and animals that died, because they're somehow all evil. even the babies. God doesn't know how to do cultural reform. Just follow the rules, or you all die. Jesus throwing people out of the temple is a good example in the new testament. It's portrayed as a noble deed, but is guaranteed to not have any lasting effect. Once he's gone, they'd go right back to doing the same thing. He needed to try to get the laws changed, or do something more productive than assault a few people and destroying furniture.
