Yep, radicals exist. And "I don't want to be a radical within such a group" is a perfectly sound reason for not being a member, as are many other reasons starting with "I don't believe that stuff." I just feel like the screaming-about-hell Christians make their own press, so the Christian Universalists and their friends need to speak up in this sort of context and say no, Jesus does not make you certain about everything, and God is not an asshole who made carbon-dating possible to punish us for using our minds, and the people who tell you they have to believe that because they're Christians are wrong. They can be Christians and still have a choice about this stuff.
Which certainly doesn't negate your frustration. I'm sorry. That sucks.
