If there were truly a Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, he would have been teaching peace and spirituality, not subservience to a book of words which conveys vengence, hatred, and the right to kill.
Those who proclaim themselves "Christian" yet are filled with anger and hatred, who promote and condone war, who lash out at those they feel are less worthy of life than themselves, they are not truly Christian, they are simply folks who believe in a book. They use that book and its words to justify their own evil deeds.
