Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

The Bible promotes Biblical morality, and that can be twisted by men. Jesus' harshest words were for the Pharisees, who were the religious right of the time.

And yet he may have been a pharisee.

Everything about jesus is up for debate isn't it.

Nothing can be definitively pinned down.

Falk examines two factions of the Pharisees, a group of pious Jews who believed in the resurrection of the dead, rewards and punishments for this life in the next and rabbinic authority to interpret Jewish law. These two parties, the School of Hillel and the School of Shammai, clashed shortly before Jesus' birth. Jewish tradition records that the rigid Shammaites held religious control throughout Jesus' life and during the founding decades of the Christian Church. But by A.D. 70 the more flexible Hillel school had become pre-eminent and the predecessor of today's traditional Judaism. In Falk's theory, Jesus was a Pharisee of the Hillel school, so that his denunciations ("Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!") were aimed at the Shammai school, not Jews in general, and not even at all Pharisees.

Jesus came to "fulfill the law, not to abolish it..." Meaning it was "finished".

I know people who would argue against that interpretation.
This shows what an ambiguous piece of crap the bible is. How can people live by it if they can't agree what it says!
