Jesus' boys are like Trump's boys when it comes to their messiah: no matter what deceitful, horrible and cowardly stuff Jesus/ Trump has said and done, they ignore it and push their own version of Jesus/ Trump as they see him in their imagination.

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"
