    the Christian religion is generally about love and tolerance (if you read the Bible)

    No, if you read the Bible you’ll see a vengeful, genocidal, jealous, petulant god who’s very ok with slavery and rape. Not much love and tolerance there.

      No you clearly have no idea the difference between old and New Testament and the importance of that to Christians. You also have no idea what scholar consider actually written by the apostles and not. Go do some research about that.

        The old testament justifies the “new”. Also, the character of Jesus says that “not one jot or tittle” thing.

        I was raised with red letter xtianity; but if you really do look closer, it’s easy to see that xtianity is truly a Rorschach’s blot, and for good reason. You can cherry-pick extreme right, white nationalist stuff out of there, or you could just still to the red letters and be radically leftist.
