I believe love is something we experience by giving it to others, by showing everyone that we care, from the people we choose in our lives like spouses and friends, to the lowliest and people we may be different from. That no matter who they are, they deserve our kindness. My church caused me to leave because while they preached love and kindness, they rarely practiced it. Leaders and followers alike, I would listen to them preach about God’s love and then turn around and talk about how certain groups of people should be separated from them. I disagree with that. I think god’s love isn’t something we receive just because, I think we create it ourselves.

It’s sensible :-).
But for me, Christianity is not about being good or bad. It’s about being loved and knowing it.
