Why do people water down Jesus, and think he was some sort of hippie? Did they not read the Bible?
In the Bible you see that he never compromised of what he was preaching, he never tried to wrap it up in a nice box, and never cared how many people he offends. In fact, many people were nervous, angry, and triggered around him.
The first time he went preaching, they wanted to throw him off a cliff! (See Luke 4)
Also... It is true that he was hanging around with prostitutes and tax-collector thieves, but he told them to change their lives, not "be who you are and carpe diem".
People nowadays confuse loving someone (=wanting the best for the other person) with encouraging them to do what they feel good doing!

People water down Jesus specifically because they either do not read their Bibles, OR because they need to make Him less than He truly is, in order to relate to Him.

He attracted many, but the Scribes and Pharisees were offended because he pointed out their hypocrisy.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
