I can quote the Bible because I know what I'm talking about. You can pretty much sum the bible up like this. Old Testament = Law, New Testament = Grace.
Law demands Justice hence the "eye for an eye" but Christ (God in human flesh) came so that we no longer live under the "Law" but under "Grace"(Love)
Luke 6
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful
But commandments are under the law
Which are found in the Old Testament

If humans were to revert to adhering to god's justice, we would be considered no less a monster as he is portrayed in the fallible man-written bible.
Seems my post went completely over your head, did you not see the rest of it?
