Nash, I have read the NT over and over. And believe me, it is replete with ugly verses. I will be glad to provide you with a very ugly list if you would like. Then you can shout, "You hate Jesus."
In the meantime why don't you address the issue?
Other than in isolated incidents of grandstanding in front of a crowd, show me where Christ demonstrated a genuine concern for the handicapped, afflicted and unwanted. If he had the power to cure, heal and institute tolerance for a select few, why didn't he cure diseases, e.g., leprosy, feed the poor (not just a wedding party) and bring brotherly love to the world?

Here is a good site to look up all those verses with. I can provide more if you need them.
