It isn’t about what I say it is about how his followers understand it and have understood it. You are trying to argue that it is advocating a stance of holding on to your integrity. Fine go ahead and argue that. That isn’t how it has been understood. It has been understood that it meant you are ordered to be violent to enforce his kingdom.
You know neurology has shown that the same part of the brain that is active when asked “what do you think of x” is the same part of the brain that is active when asked “what does your god think of x”? Just a fun little fact about that explains why everyone always has the “true” understanding.
