    Sure, people do good everyday in the name of Jesus based on his teachings.

    And I doubt you believe Jesus would agree with this use of his name.

    I doubt Jesus would agree with how many use his name.

    So then you agree, that blowing an Abortion clinic to hell has nothing to do with the Teachings of Jesus and therefore Christianity, and more likely the actions of an asshole reqardless of what he says.

    Being able to achieve peace by not being assholes is simple common sense. It works for secular or religious. The fact that Jesus happened to say a few things that can be seen as advocating for not being assholes to each other is irrelevant. It just makes him moderately insightful for his time.

    Referencing religion or the will of God shouldn't be (isn't) necessary to draw common sense conclusions on our moral responsibilities towards each other.

    You're the one who is claiming that no one has ever done anything wrong or bad in the name of Jesus. I gave one example off the top of my head. Your position is ridiculous.

    If people can do good in the name of Jesus, others can do bad in the name of Jesus.

    Matthew 21-12
    Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.

    Assault

    Luke 6:1-4 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.

    Theft
