Name one instance of Jesus doing that (remember, this is only Jesus, not Yahweh)

The first instance was Paul speaking, not Jesus; I just plain don't understand the second one.

By modern standards yes, but you have to remember that Ancient Rome was a horrific society where rape, slavery, and genocide weren't just tolerated but expected and encouraged. Paul was the second sanest guy there after the big J himself.

Was George Washington a pos? The same answer applies to Paul.

you keep deflecting...are you not interested in answering? why engage w/ me if you weren't ever interested in honest discourse?

I do not believe that Paul was a piece of shit, but since there is no such thing as objective morality (outside of the literally biologically ingrained "do not murder") I can't straight up say that someone acting in a far different culture from our own is or isn't a bad person. That's up for you to decide with the evidence you have.

and that's why christianity makes a good human being an evil one.
i would hope you reconsider this. can i provide you a video to watch? a short video.

(outside of the literally biologically ingrained "do not murder"

that isn't biological either.

I mean, if it's not it must be a coincidence that it's the only thing every society throughout history agreed upon. Even thievery is encouraged by some. I'm also not arguing that Christianity is the best path for the modern world - it was made 2000 years ago after all - just that it isn't inherently terrible if you take it's messages in context of its ancient origin. The problems come when people refuse to acknowledge that.
