No, the contradiction is in what Christ SAYS and what they DO.

"Interpretation" is the issue, certainly, but not my interpretation, but theirs when they take a message of peace and turn into a justification for war. That's both hypocritical and evil from my viewpoint, and blasphemous to boot from the viewpoint of a Christian who actually cares what Jesus' message actually was, as opposed to what it has been distorted to say in the centuries since becoming the official religion of a warlike Roman Empire.

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” - does this sound like Jesus saying, "Blessed are the snipers, for they shall snuff out the enemy"?
