"They will know we are Christians by our love"

So it seems to me that if we (who call ourselves Christians) do not show love and support to others who do not believe the same as we do, then we deserve scorn and suspicion as to the sincerity of our beliefs.

As I've posted many times before, if there is a god I believe that she/he/it cares more as to how we treat each other, especially those who are in need and those marginalized by society, rather than adherence to a particular doctrine.

Wishing all well and peace.
