Jesus was courage personified - he rejected the ancient prejudices depicted in the Old Testament and stood up to the "bible-thumpers" of his time.
You are such an ignoramus on basic Christianity as to be laughable. All Jesus did was quote the Old Testament scriptures. IN CONTEXT. He was hated for it, declared a Blasphemer for doing so. Even when hanging, crucified he was quoting the scriptures - because they were about HIM. Jesus did not 'stand up against' "Bible Thumpers" of His day. HE WAS ONE (as your derogatory suggests). As others have provided you the scripture from Matthew 5:17-18 - from His own mouth He says He did not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Until heaven and earth pass away (last I looked they are still here) - not one little mark will pass from the Law, until all is fulfilled and His Kingdom comes down from On High. Contrary to your assertions, He stood up against the Traditions of the Elders, who ADDED their own passages to scripture to make themselves arbiters of who God would accept and what things people must do to be allowed any access to the temple. Jesus took a special effort to denounce them because they KNEW whom HE was, and REJECTED HIM, in favor of their OWN Traditions and especially because Jesus would not submit to THEIR authority or the perversion of scripture they instituted to make themselves as God.
You reject the bible itself as having any authority or being breathed from God, and instead have lofted the god of your imagination as having the only moral authority anyone can consider. IN this way - you are that which you accuse us of being.
Jesus preached love and tolerance, empathy and humility. You and I may disagree about the meaning and import of Jesus' words, but cut this crap that I don't "believe" Him.
Then why do you not do the things which He says? John 1: 1-3, 14 tell us plainly Whom Jesus Was from the beginning. The very Laws you reject, HE WROTE and handed to Moses. If you knew Jesus beyond the 'philosopher', you wouldn't be pushing evil as a good and justifying abomination upon the people here. The truth is, you do NOT believe in Yeshua/Jesus - but instead believe in a Jesus that conforms to your mindset rather than you conforming to His.
Jesus did not preach love and tolerance. Not in the manner you and the Leftists use that phrase. He revealed the Father - whom mankind was cut off from. He was preaching a Gospel of reconciliation with the Father, and likewise with fellow man. He preached the spiritual INTENT of the Law beyond just the physical and revealed the Father's heart towards us all. Jesus Himself states that we must overcome sin, that we must be grafted into Him to put on the mind of Him and the Father. His message was one that leads to LIFE. The message you are preaching is one that will lead to DEATH.
Pushing homosexuality as virtuous is pushing the mindset of Satan and discarding the Word of God and Christ Himself. Eternal Death is the wages earned for such, especially when you have witnesses here showing you the truth that you reject. Truly it will be more tolerable in that Day of Judgment for the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah than it will be for those who are witness to the truth - and reject it in favor of their own gods.
