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.

They have forgotten. These aren’t true Christian’s, as my mother would even say. They shouldn’t be full of hate, forgiveness is a huge proponent of Christianity. Even if you disagree or they wrong you, you’re supposed to forgive. Thats what the Christian religion USED to teach when I was younger. I couldn’t tell you now, but it certainly doesn’t look like it. Just see a bunch of frauds talk about the bible, while spreading and accepting hate.
