(Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."
We can see here that the religion is endorsing rampant mass murder.
I believe the discussion was about
Buddhism though, wasn't it?
You know Buddhism isn't an Abrahamic religion, right?
You said "religion" not "Buddhism". You know that Buddhism is a relgion, right?
And not all religions are Christianity.
Also, might I remind you that the Bible was written by
people.

And not all religions are Christianity.
But Christianity is a religion and really should fit into your rule that it's "only people". A rule isn't a rule if there are exceptions.

This is the lamest argument I've ever heard.
Religion was created by people. People are, as you say, violent, erratic and negative. So; what makes religion exempt from the attitudes of the creators? As we see; it isn't.
