Matt 22:36-40 - 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"
37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
When you subscribe to a superstition which requires you to believe that you are a filthy, degenerate sinner, a stupid beast who cannot function without heavenly authority, who does not deserve salvation whether or not he gets it, 'love thy neighbor as you love thyself' is no bar to committing crimes against others. Would not the love of self be classified as the sin of pride? Jesus' application of the Golden Rule, in fact, seems to encourage this sort of thing. Which is, of course, why all the religions of your God are so bloodthirsty.
