Evil people will use literally any excuse to be evil because they are horrible, freakish, lowlifes. That is no reflection on the 99.9% of Christians who are good people, and who have done more of the good in this world than any other group on earth!It clearly states in the Bible that we must not suffer witches to live. It also states that you can beat your slaves to death as long as they don't die within one day. And if your kids are disobedient, you can have them stoned to death. There are a few more instances in which the Bible justifies killing: Death for homosexuals and lesbians, death for cursing your parents, death for women who have premarital sex, death for publicly blaspheming God, death for unbelievers, etc.
The Bible is an historical account of what people were doing at that time. If they were doing the right things, they would not have needed the 10 Commandments or for Jesus to come.
