Not to mention that those Jesus's last words were very selfish, for he could only think about himself. He could have said "Oh no, so many people will be murdered and persecuted as 'christ-killers' after I die and this all gets written into antisemitic Gospels."
Or "Dad, why didn't I spend more time telling people about germs, diseases, cures and science and how to properly use it so that they can build better societies, instead of threatening them with eternal punishment".
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"
