But please consider that the Christian era is now a splintered field. Some of its mysteries went east on the wind into Asia Minor and beyond; some of it stayed in Rome. Luther's hammer split it again. Then multitudes of many-striped Protestants threw in their changes and modifications.
Eventually that same faith, tradition, Bible-led worldview, has made it to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where Jim Dobson rails against Sponge Bob for fear he might be turning pre-schoolers gay.
I agree with others who have posted here that your argument is not with progressives who generally give Jesus a secular/socialist nod of approval, but with the so-called "Christians" who have hijacked your faith right from under your very noses.
Put it where it goes. Hold the fundies accountable for their hysterical idiocy and anti-intellectualism.
