And this is why Christians drive people from God-

I have no doubt that he'd be hanging out with bikers and whores, because he was (is) all about people being real. No high and mighty pharisee crap. However, he'd probably expect illegal and/or harmful things to stop - like the prostitutes to quit prostituting themselves.

I think it was Jesus who said "The physician does not come to treat those who are well, but the sick." He was (is) all about helping people in a real way and meeting their needs. He was also, though, about turning your back on sinful behavior, and if you weren't willing to do that, then he really didn't want to waste time with you. (disclaimer - please do not interpret this to mean that I am regarding homosexual behavior as sinful - this is not the point of what I'm writing.)

Jesus was accepting of all. But he also expected a lot. The religious leaders of the day didn't cut it then, so why would we expect the religious leaders of today to be any more acceptable? I have no doubt that a lot are, but I can see plenty of pharisees as well. I happen to go to a great church where I believe the pastors are real people. I've been to some where I didn't think that for a minute.
