Well, when was the last time you heard some Christian pluck his eye(s) because he looked at some woman and thought she was handsome? Or when was the last time you heard some Christian amputate his arm to prevent himself from masturbation? Or castrated himself for God? Or sold all his possessions and gave money to the poor?
The answer is almost never because those are all rantings of a vile lunatic and Christians ignore them as such, but they should be honest and admit that most of Jesus's teachings are insane and vile.
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"
