In the case of guns...guns are a neutral item. They are just a tool that can be turned to either a good or an evil purpose. A hunter-gatherer who uses a gun to provide himself with food is not doing an evil thing anymore than a hawk is doing an evil thing when he catches a rabbit.

A forest ranger who uses a gun to prevent a bear attack is not doing an evil thing.

A policeman who uses a gun to prevent a bank robbery is not doing an evil thing.

A soldier who uses a gun to defend his country against invasion is not doing an evil thing.

But the person who wantonly kills animals merely for sport is doing an evil thing (in my opinion), the bank robber who uses a gun to shoot a cop or a civilian is doing an evil thing, and the soldier who uses a gun to invade someone else's country without any real reason or necessity is assisting his high command in doing an evil thing.

So guns, like religion, are neither good nor evil in themselves. They just are. How you choose to put them to use is the crucial matter.

I've never used a gun on someone, and I've never used any kind of spiritual idea to hurt someone either. You cannot define religion as "bad" because some people choose to use it badly.

You also can't necessarily believe that everything it says that Jesus said in the Bible is 100% accurate and true. The Bible was written by a large number of different men, at different times, some of them long before Jesus, others quite some time after Jesus, and they all wrote down various things that suited their own viewpoint, the political mood of the time, what they'd heard from somebody else, what people wanted to hear, and what they wanted to believe...but not what was guaranteed to be accurate or true.

It's absolutely naive to imagine that everything said in the Bible about Jesus is accurate. When people have a point to make, either for or against Jesus, they will just cherry pick something out of the Bible and use it to justify their point. This tells one very little about Jesus...but it tells much about the person making the point. ;-)

If you want to get some idea of what Jesus is about, you have to read the entire Bible...plus a lot of other material (there are many alternative views about Jesus from different traditions outside the Christain mainstream)...think about ALL of it...and then come to your own best guess about what Jesus may have said and what he may have been like.

If you weren't there, you don't KNOW. Nobody KNOWS. We're all just guessing or repeating things we've heard or read somewhere...and we don't KNOW if they're true. You can only make your own best guess as to what is most probable and what is less probable.
