"don't just pick the verse that proves your point." Isn't that the point of an arguement. I mean, I could just quote the entire bible, would that be ok? Further, I forgot that it's ok for Christians to pick and chose what quotes to use at a particular time, but us filthy Deists can't.
I like how people equate an actual sword with violence, yet telling someone "forsake your family and follow me or I'll throw you into a pit of fire where you'll suffer for all eternity" is NOT violence or a threat. It's LOVE!

The quotes you posted were out of context and so did not present the intended message.
