Rather, his message: love God, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, and so forth. That message and his actions, which exemplify that message, was incredibly violent and threatening ... wasn't it? And, you find it so distasteful that others repeat it today, do you not? And, you find it incredibly distasteful that Jesus said there will be consequences for those who do not believe in that message, do you not? I know what happened to Jesus on earth for spreading that message on that fateful Good Friday. So, no crying, or gnashing of teeth ... and yes, that message from our Savior will be broadcasted from the highest mountain tops no matter what. You can try all you want to bash it, mock it, and even "kill" the Son of God in any symbolic fashion you want, but guess what, that message is alive, spreading, and some day it will be fully vindicated on the Day of Judgement. So, if you do not like that "message", then tough and you will have to deal with it. No one is forcing you to do anything ... heck, you do not even have to listen to it or comment on it, either.
