Maybe the standard response is different in mainland Europe (I grew up in England and Canada).

I doubt that. I grew up as an evangelical in Australia, and as such was under more British and American influence than European in religious matters.

A quick google finds a lot of links by Christians explaining it as such.

Eg.:

Quote:

God is perfect and cannot look upon sin.

Quote:

I always understood that God had to turn his back on Jesus. Not because he became sin but because he took our sins. God can not be in the presence of sin.
