Christians aren't really different from the Jesus we read about in the Bible if you go by what the Bible really says. They're only different from the stereotype of gentle loving Jesus. To see such a Jesus, you have to either not read the Bible or read it but ignore anything that doesn't fit the stereotype. I did that for decades.
KingPhil, you ignore things about Jesus that don't fit the stereotype. Do you really think you can have an evangelical impact on people who do not ignore these things? We think you are a wonderful person, but that in no wise translates into thinking your god is wonderful.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
