it's good to see someone else with a basic understanding of human need without being restricted or limited by religious or racial prejudices...an actual Christian actually acting Christian.
It is well worth noting that the single most dramatic thing that Christ did to the faith was to smash the idea of a chosen people. He was the light to enlighten the gentiles, as so many of us have sung in one setting or another.
A closed mind does not behoove a Christian. Nor does a belief that a God who changed the faith so dramatically once might not do so again.
It is a wonder anyone who can imagine a unimaginably vast God can think there is a single faith system that can encompass all of God. That anyone would throw bricks at one for associating with those of another religion should probably re-read the New Testament.
