@JGoldman10,
It can't apply to both. It's people like you, shoe-horning their agendas into scripture like that that is largely responsible for the majority of the ill-repute the rest of the world holds Christianity in.
It's that precise kind of BS that was used to justify the crusades, among many numerous other atrocities in the name of 'God'.
Additionally, you wouldn't know 'common sense' if he came up in a leather two-piece and grabbed your backside.
