Stephen Baldwin, in his forthcoming book, on his newfound mission in life: "God has called me to go and make disciples of the youth of America. That is what I am going to do. And if you try to stop me, I am going to break your face."
Yeah, Jesus was all like that too, with the threats of violence. On SOUTH PARK maybe.
Can we please invent a new term for people who claim to be Christians but prefer to ignore the teachings of Jesus in preference for Old Testament-style vengeance and violence? Be like Jesus if you call yourself 'Christian'. Otherwise, you're, I dunno, aJehovist or Old Testamentarian or something. Just leave Jesus Christ out of it.
