Moderate Christianity - Even More Illogical Than Fundamentalist Christianity?

Anyone who reads the Bible will know that the Judeo Christian God is not a moderate. He hates gays, people of other faiths
People like the Westboro Baptist Church and people who say homosexuals should be executed like in Muslim countries are the ones following the teachings of the Bible the best.

Moderate Christians who say its OK for people to be gay, and are accepting of other religions, and are disgusted by things like slkavery and blood sacrifices, are just going against what their God says, and essentially saying their own Bible which is the work of God is totally wrong, although that is apparently the perfect moral guide which they derive their morals from and ignore its morals completely as well Thinking

In summary:

Moderate Christianity = making their irrational assumption of believing the Bible is truth then having made that assumption behaving totally irrationally in every way on the basis of that irrational assumption.

Fundamentalist/Extremist Christianity = making their irrational assumption of believing the Bible is truth then having made that assumption behaving rationally on the basis of that irrational assumption.

Before you make statements like, God hates, you should study the scriptures and find out the truth. God hates no one, so he could not hate in the manner you described above. What God does hate are the sinful actions of man not man himself. If it were true that God hated anyone then he would not have sent his Son to redeem mankind, that would be a great contradiction and as you stated yourself God is not moderate, he sent Christ for all and not just for a special few.
You judge God on the actions of his fallible followers, none of us are close to perfect, but if you must pick people to judge God by find those who are actually doing what Christ teaches. That would however require you to come to some kind of a understanding of his teachings through scripture.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
