Ah, but you do..because christians do claim that jesus told them to be groovy - jesus told them other things as well.
We can all sing kumbayah when the strange fanatic tells us that his fairy friend told him something we like. Certifying that, however, we can't really be surprised or upset when they do some terrible fucking thing for the same reason we were just okay with. The catholic church in ireland being a great example of this.
We don't like to confront these things, and we make poor deals with a revolving cast of devils, because confronting them is equally horrendous to our tolerant worldview. We worry that if we follow our convictions to their necessary end we might end up doing or thinking something bad. This is a weakness of the tolerant worldview, for all of it's strengths. It's also why we give our evangelicals here in the states an inexhaustible token for resets. A suicide pact with a death cult on account of how we enjoy the melody of whatever they happen to be whistling in our presence at a given moment.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
