love thy neighbor as thy self

I've been thinking a lot lately about trying to be a good Christian. I wouldnt even call myself a Christian if someone asked my religion, but I do believe in the basic message of the religion. I feel like there is so much negativity surrounding Christianity in today's society (well, all religions really). The true underlying message of religion is love, and love for those who do you wrong and others wrong. Instead of religion spreading this message of love, I see it spreading a message of hate. My new goal is to be the best REAL Christian I can be. I am going to find ways to love people that hurt me, and love people I disagree with, and love people I can't stand. If we all got to know our enemies, I believe that we would have no enemies left. After all, there is no self. Deep down we are all one.
