Loving one another as oneself.

These are just words then I take it ? Nice sounding words to make Christianity sound "nice", but really, it's just a PR thing. It really doesn't affect your behavior at all, this "being Christian" thing ?

You seem rather defensive about the matter. And I'm sorry if I'm upsetting you.

I don't understand Christianity, and had some ideas on the teachings and aims. Although I disagree that Christianity has any monopoly on "truth", it seems some of the teachings are rather in keeping with a peaceful, moral & loving outlook on others and the world. I've always liked that and think it is worthy to strive for, regardless of religious beliefs.

peace & love
