"Two thousand years ago there was this dude saying 'Be excellent to one another'" is certainly less dangerous, but to be fair the same dude described in the Bible does likewise say:

"I have not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Which like, you don't need to twist that very hard to get to a place where you're going around "bringing the sword" to people who you think need it...

The Old Testament is big on genocide though, "We should definitely murder these children" has a lot more justification at the start of the book, or if you're batshit and think that stuff about Revelation, right at the end is a concrete prediction of future events then maybe that too.
