I'm here to tell you there are lots of Christians who aren't anything like the preconceived notions you may have. We're not all into "turning the other cheek."

And although we believe that the moral precepts in the Book of Leviticus are the infallible word of God, it doesn't mean we're all obsessed with extremist notions like "righteousness" and "justice."[Link]

No, to them the One and Only Rule is this: Jesus Died. Yup. He died for their sins and THAT's the important bit.
