There are plenty of open religious sites that unlike this one and other overtly prejudice sites are full of balanced and open discussion. religeousforums.com for example.
I agree with those ideas too. So do some central Christian theologians. I don't see how it could be any other way, and rather than weaken the Christian position, I find it very much strengthens it.

Accepting these kinds of ideas is a slippery slope for Christians IMO - where do you draw the line? Spong has a book showing how many of the gospel stories are rewrites of earlier Jewish Midrash (I haven't read the book - just the overview).
