or even you, know what the majority of Christians believe. This is a false equivalence. Something the RW commonly does with Democrats, I might add.

is a diabolical lie.
Check out Jesus's Sermon on the Mount.
It can be found here, where Jesus is described the most accurately as I've ever read outside the Bible itself.
