Beautifully said, and so sad that a religion of loving your neighbor is all but forgotten.

“He who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20)

Thank you, John. We Christians certainly do need to "get tired" of demonizing people and places and groups. I fear that is a long time off in the spaces I inhabit. Our attitudes and words and behavior have grieved me so much, especially these last 8 years. It has sadly gotten worse and worse. Even people whom I KNOW are actually decent and kind and genuine Christian people in their everyday life cannot or will not see what they are doing. I will never understand it, never.........and it has shaken my own faith, it really has. And this is a 71 year old longtime "evangelical"(in quotes on purpose these days) talking. What have we become???
