When Alabama's Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next.

The debate over reproductive rights in America has long been driven, in part, by opposition to abortion from Christian groups - but this ruling has divided that movement and ignited debate about the role of theology in US lawmaking.

If you're "Christian" the odds are great that you do not believe and are in fact against the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The one book in the new testament credited as written by John after Jesus' death in order to bring old testament style apocalyptic messaging, and happens to not include any teachings by Jesus?

Dude retconned Jesus to increase the "likes" and "subscribes".

Hey I didn't tell them to put it in their book.

But yes that one. The one where Jesus is a murderer torturing genocidal rapist. It is as equally part of the bible as say the Gospel of John maybe even more so because we have higher confidence that we have mostly what was originally in it vs the Gospels.

Also I disagree a bit, a fair amount of revelations lines up with the Markan Jesus. Granted that author took it a lot further but it isn't coming from nowhere.
