Enough to make us love
By this everyone will know
that you are my disciples,
if you have love one for another.
—Jesus (John 13:35)
We have just enough religion to make us hate,
but not enough to make us love one another.
—Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
You can safely assume that
you've created God in your own image
when it turns out that God hates
all the same people you do.
—Anne Lamott (1954- )
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)
Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is from God;
everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God
for God is love.
—The Apostle John (I John 4:7)

And I passed you in Kingsland this morning.
