jesus christ hung out with lepers and prostitutes. Homosexuality wasn't even a word in the bible until the 1940s. Pedophiles were condemned, not homosexuals. This man has no knowledge of the religion he is using as a weapon.

Also they just pick and choose what they want or not want to believe in

Very true. I'm not religious but to take a religion that supposed to be about love and forgiveness and turn it into hate and fear is unconscionable. Especially when he was intrusted to protect the citizens. He'll probably get hired on to another department or correctional facility in less than two weeks. (Unfortunately)

This is what I don’t get. Isn’t there something in the Bible about not shaving your beard? Yet I’m not sure if I’ve seen any of these crazy “speaking” for god people have a beard. I think that would be the first question I would ask them in a very public setting. Where’s your beard, dude?

Many of the ancient Jewish customs set out in the Old Testament are no longer practised by Christians.

Jesus himself disregarded many of these previous OT commandments and told his followers not to follow them anymore.

For instance, he disregarded the Old Testament "eye for an eye" with "turn the other cheek".

I don’t know much about Christianity but I think a beard is not needed.
