I thought it was willingness to take a beating? Perhaps you like my chin stubble? Regardless, I worship in a messianic temple, I love getting the Rabbi's teaching on some of the historicity on some of the verses from a jewish perspective. I think Christianity could use a bit of judaism at least in it's classrooms. After all Jesus was a jew and aside from what the non-paulines think most of the apostles were as well. I think you get more fundies the further south you get. Seems like the people in my city aren't opposed to new ideas or critical thought, as long as they have plenty of nap time during service 
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
