How can we say we love God, if we cannot love each other? [Spirituality & Religion]

I am still seeing the racism card used. How can we say we love God, yet hate our neighbor ?

No matter what color we are, we are still human beings, and should act accordingly and civil to each other. "Should" being the key word here, yet many still fail to do so. No matter who says it, or what color, the racism card is getting old, and needs to be done away with.

If you think about it, each race has a different "color". Color should have nothing to do with the way we treat people. Jesus told us to love one another. There was no "IF" in that statement. We are to love each other, period!

We are all loved the same by God. He is not prejudiced in any way , and we need to follow His example. Think what a better world we'd live in, if only we would practice this and show each other respect.

True, but have you ever lived in a ghetto? Ever been a victim of gang activity? If you read the newspapers or watch the news you'll see how race does define people. I have a black male friend and when he got a higher paying job his friends asked him "why are you acting all white and everything?" You have a nice theory but it doesn't hold up well in the real world, unfortunately
@doughgirl Time and location is no excuse for treating people with no love or respect. We don't have to engage. We don't have to hate or disrespect people. Those who do so, do it because there is hate in their hearts.

I'm perfectly aware of what goes on in this world. I've seen it all. We can use every excuse in the world, but until we start practicing those values Jesus taught, nothing will change. It's always the other person's fault, is the attitude some take, when we ourselves, do not practice the love and respect we should have for others.
That is true, but it’s not just my theory. It’s the way I live and the way God asks us to live. But most people don’t. You’re right about that. @doughgirl
