Christine,

Beware the narrow-minded, of whatever stripe. Also fanatics. A French aphorism:

Du fanatism … la barbarie, il n'y a qu'un pas. (Denis Diderot)

I'll translate, for the Franco-challenged:

It is only one step from fanaticsm to barbarism.

And yes, Jesus would indeed weep at the injustices and barbarisms committed in his name. The Crusades, for example.
