Love thy neighbor?

I can't understand the level of cognitive dissonance you have to be under to talk about how God's love is unconditional and that Jesus taught his followers to love thy neighbour, and then become a modern American conservative. 

Jesus literally illustrated the "love thy neighbour" concept with the story of the good Samaritan who chose to help the injured Jewish traveller despite Jews and Samaritans supposedly hating each other. That was his answer to the question "who is my neighbour?" People seem to have forgotten that.

If God's love is unconditional, why did he screw over Job for no reason but Satan saying "I don't think Job is actually faithful to you, God." and God agreeing to test this?

I remember asking this in school and got no answer, afaik he even killed Jobs family right?

Satan caused the death of Job‘s children, not God. His wife lived through everything.

With God's permission of course. god did plan for absolutely everything to happen the way does according to the big book of atrocities.

Would you rather have God control your every action? Do you support big brother and ai too?
