Is Jesus Christ the reason behind child abuse in the USA since Jesus Christ said for husbands to hate their children? Source: If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luke: 14:26 - KJV) Should Jesus Christ be viewed as a hate monger? Does Jesus's exhortation for husbands to hate their children prove that Jesus did not have the oars in the water and that Jesus Christ cannot possibly be the Messiah/God because Jesus was clearly a lunatic?
