    And that’s the thing about religious texts: we interpret them, even if we do our best to read them as written. I agree that the case for a vengeful Jesus is probably weaker than the tolerant one, but it is nonetheless there. If that’s the Jesus you want, nobody can stop you from cherry picking and emphasizing specific texts to make your own vengeful god.
