:::: Who are you to say what is anti-Christian? The quote "cast the first stone" is one of the most remembered quotes from the Bible. The case that it was not part of the original text is not rock-solid, and the fact is that whether or not it was in the Gospels that were officially sanctioned by the early Catholic church, the story of the adulteress and the "cast the first stone" quote have been an iconic piece of Christianity for many centuries. Furthermore, the claim that the teaching is not consistent with the rest of Jesus' teachings is ridiculous. Matthew 7:1-5 has exactly the same message, and this is a passage from the sermon on the mount! Perhaps the Conservative Bible Project should revisit the sermon on the mount-- It seems to have liberal values! But now we see the absurdity of the project: Removing the sermon on the mount would be no less than heresy. You do not get to change the truth to fit your political beliefs.
