This attitude is very dangerous.
It is what drives Islamic suicide bombers.
No care for society - just doing god's work ...

If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your
closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods”
(gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of the peoples
around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other),
do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity.
Show them no pity
That is from your bible.

It's not my religion.
You on the other hand stand by your religious book which is the Bible
NOT JUST THE NEW TESTAMENT.
The Christian Bible was put together at Nicea (divinely inspired)
why did they include stuff which is untrue?

None of the stuff in the OT is untrue, it just falls under the old covenant and no longer applies in the new covenant.

Have you ever noticed how children, even very young ones, get angry when they are exposed to injustice or a lie?...
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeA child is not born a murderer, but with poor socialisation, may indeed grow in to one.
Social influences may impact on character, ability to empathise with others etc.
And yes, good kids can grow from bad families. Humans are complex creatures and will be affected by things in different ways.
That is what you said. But now you say that a child's innate nature may supercede or override any socialization. Didn't you?

Originally posted by @wolfgang59It's a pretty far reach from that, to "blow them up".

Why wasn't it left out with the other irrelevant stuff?

Originally posted by @wolfgang59Good question. It think it serves as a historical record. The old covenant also gives us greater appreciation for the new covenant and basically shows us why the new covenant was necessary.
