I personally believe that Jesus' great commandment (Luke 10:25), which is also confirmed in Leviticus 19:18 'Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself' is the most important rule in the bible.However I see less and less people in this world, especially those claiming to be 'Christian' that follow this most important cardinal rule. Jesus does not command us to love our neighbour as thy self unless he happens to be gay,divorced,have premarital sex or doesnt believe in your religion but simply to accept the people around us no matter their choices and actions in life.
I fail to see the value in calling a perfectly good person, who otherwise for all intents and purposes acts exactly as a Chtistian should (and far more tolerant at times may i add) evil just because he or she doesn't conform to your conception of sin.As heretical as this may sound but I dont think God intends for us to hate others, regardless of who they are. The bible is full of references to humility,tolerance,respect and justice but it is used as justification for hate. I find it completely stunning that there are people who quote the bible when attacking homosexuals,or Muslims,or even other Christians. If we all want to return to the basics of belief in God shouldnt we all be more tolerant instead of less??
