I think that in order for one to be a "moderate" anything, there has to be a cut and dried definition of what the extremes are. In Christanity, I don't think anyone would agree to those extremes- I mean, I suppose I could see some pentacostal fundameltalists as being on one extreme, but I see the other end of that spectrum being a liberal Christian, which I don't believe to be Christian at all... But I digress.
Jesus wants you to follow Him, this is the basis of Christanity. He told you what to do, His teachings are what matter. I think a lot of people have a tendency to forget that when Christ was born, the Old Testament went out the window because people don't have to uphold the covenant with God anymore, now they can believe in Christ and be saved. So focus on what Jesus said, and if your interpretation differs from someone else's, that's OK.
My mom and I were once talking about something, and I said "yeah, but didn't Jesus say to love everyone?" and my mother accused me of being a flaming liberal. SO know that it's subjective, just like everything else.
