The Bible doesn't say that.
Yeah, GC is right: look into the Bible to understand its followers. And if you look at the Bible you'll find out that God has a huge army in Heaven because he is scared that the Satan will rob him and kill him, so if a God is a scared little bitch you can imagine what his followers are since they consider themselves lower life forms.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
