There are a great many Christians in the USA who feel differently
than you.
Which is all the more reason for those few of us left (call us "the
remnant", if you're feeling Biblical) who remember that Jesus didn't
think that way to remind the world that there is another way.
Jesus was radically generous. Liberal, if you will. The arthritic
judgement-dealing organization that has grown up around his teachings
is an abomination, a point on which you and I have plenty of common
ground.
