Well from the quotes you gave I generally agree with the idea that Jesus was masculine and not "effeminate." I think when you read the text he actually comes off as very masculine. I generally imagine him as having masculine mannerisms and speaking authoritatively about things, sometimes with brutal harshness. And the willingness it took for him to suffer torture and go to the cross with such quiet dignity could be said to have required metaphorical cojones.

He does have his tender side and even his dark side but this is also characteristically masculine.

He talks poo poo about me in like his first post although I have no memory of interacting with him, which means he is afraid to reply to my posts directly I guess, so I doubt there's very much new or interesting he has to share

So what exactly is your point then w/r/t the sufferings of Christ and how it was actually effeminate of him to not complain of his pain (lol)

It means that everybody who seeks after God is clean and you have no right to call them dirty, tradition be damned. If you were Peter, you would have rejected Cornelius the centurion's invitation to his home on the grounds that Scripture and centuries of Jewish tradition explicitly forbid Jews from visiting the homes of Gentiles. And you would have gone against God's will to include Cornelius in the body of Christ.

But you are disagreeing with the Christian interpretation! You're excluding people from the body of Christ - where "there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female" - for doctrinal reasons. The New Testament shows time and again that care for one's fellow humans trumps religious orthodoxy every time. When you put Scripture and tradition ahead of actual human beings, you're not acting as Christ would. You're acting more like the Pharisees described in the Gospels: more concerned with maintaining "purity" through tradition than helping people in need of salvation.

It's the biggest sect of the biggest faith, a level of diversity is inevitable. The clergy are generally against killing in all it's forms, the laity is all over the place.

Not every Christian poster is as easily upset as you, I'm afraid.

1) Hell was not necessarily considered the same in the past as it is today, we cannot presume to judge as if we were God.
2) God is pretty clear that harm is bad, in any form.
3) Attempting to conquer other people/lands for your own power/prestige is unjust, failing in the attempt is even more pathetic, this holds true in any era of history and today.
4) Everyone is secretly a least a little bit gay, so what??
5) women deacons and clergy were there in the beginning, and the suppression of them is weakening. Turns out fear and bitterness make for lovely arguments!
6) scripture like the golden rule? Ignoring god saying that was the summation of all just law, be careful you don't place ancient musings over your own empathy and reason - beware kyrie, lest the deceiver poison your heart and mind against your brothers and sisters!

No. Everyone deserves Hell, nobody has ever earned less than an eternity of torture.

When you hurt someone, you're not offending them. Even if you kill them slowly with a knife you're doing less than they deserve, but you're not righteous in doing it. You're offending God, who is the only being in the cosmos who can distribute justice, with that justice taking the form of an eternity suffering God's full wrath.

If God decides to not distribute justice, then that's his problem, but don't fool yourself into thinking there's anyone who's ever lived that doesn't deserve an eternity of suffering.

Lex talionis is a really dumb thing to subscribe to if your end goal is to reduce the net suffering of humanity. It A - Is not nearly as efficient as more rehabilitative methods at preventing offence and reoffence, B - Causes suffering for its own sake rather than to be of instrumental value (which is what I basically describe as pure evil) and C - Brutalises society to the point where we become accustomed to anger and revenge being an adequate response to a crime rather than an appeal to a rational sense of justice.
