Its not an inferiority complex. Its that those who chose not to accept his ways can be dealt with severely if they do not abide by his commandments.
Of course, it was picking and choosing from the Bible. Christians do it all the time and Gotch picked and chose those quotes from the Koran. IMO God should try to spread the word and love a little more, instead of just using his "powers" to crush all of these people. Lose a lot of credibility when you order these killings in one part and in another its "may the Lord of peace be with you".


Reminds me of the 10 commandments of George Carlin. There's a lot more than just the Ten though, that's the problem...it's outdated in many parts and people pick and choose what they want to follow. Too many no-no's for a normal person to follow,
