Its in the Christian Bible.
The CHRISTIAN BIBLE.

I don't give a rats ass which other books its in.
I don't give a rats ass who follows it and who ignores it.
I don't give a rats ass about the history of the writing, and how hard it is to reproduce.

All I give a rat's ass about is that the physical TEXT is PRESENT, and Christians are TAUGHT it. Clearly, YOU were taught it, because you understand all about it. Yet, you chose, of YOUR OWN FREE WILL, to ignore it. Yay. I don't CARE that millions of Christians IGNORE the command to kill those not of their faith. I ONLY care that the command is THERE in the FIRST PLACE. WHY IS IT THERE? "History" is NOT a SUFFICIENT ANSWER. That is a logical fallacy called "Appeal to Tradition" (http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-tradition.html).

Saying "That is the way its always been" is NOT A VALID ARGUMENT.

Having that text there is WRONG.
Not removing it is WRONG.
Remaining a member of that religion is WRONG.

All this is self evident when talking about the Republican Party (re: "How can they still be republicans after everything the republican party has done!?"), but somehow its "totally different" when talking about religion?

HYPOCRISY.
