I always put Jesus Loves and Adores at the end of my about me thing in my account, and at the end of most of my questions, answers, comments, etc. So what do you guys think of it? I know some of you are thinking I'm crazy but if your a fellow christian that thinks that I feel shame for you a great SHAME, but if your not a christian and think that I'm not surprised. Well all I have to say now is Jesus Loves and Adores.

Those who say that this is an example of christians cramming religion down their throats is wrong because I didn't nor did the other of millions of christians that exist make them answer this question. I believe they are just curious or they want me to react angrily but guess what I didn't! At the end they'll be just as unsatisfied as ever. Jesus Loves and Adores.

"Jesus Loves and Adores"
I'd say that all true Christians should be unashamed of Christ, but as far as making Jesus sound like a teddy bear...
I agree with telling people about Jesus, and I'm not sure why you even asked this question (unless you're just trying to be argumentative). But unless the rest of your post/letter/message honors God, I wouldn't sign His name to it.
Yes, Jesus loves us, but unless we turn from our sins, we'd be just as well off not knowing that. And I'm pretty sure that WE are the ones supposed to be doing the adoring.
But, hey man, I'm not trying to put you down or judge you; that's none of my business. Sorry if I gave that impression. It's just that the Savior, his grace, and his message are so much more than a cute-sounding phrase.
There are Christians who are being imprisoned, tortured, and martyred for Jesus at this moment. Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
In Christ,

Why is it that when Christians profess their faith, it's toted as "cramming it down" someone's throat? I suppose the same could be said about the KKK rallies held around the country, or the gay pride marches, or even the Pro-Choice rallies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not downing anyone else or their beliefs, God loves everyone, no matter your choices or lifestyle, but where's my flag and march and rally and section in the newspaper?
Keep signing your communications however you choose, cause that's what America is about, the choice to do so. And just like everyone else, if you don't like it, don't look.

Well what do you hope to achieve by putting Jesus Loves and Adores at the end of your things. Are you saying Jesus Loves and Adores you or do you Love and Adore Jesus?

What you end your sentences with is not demeaning and I personally don't have a problem with it and no I'm not a Christian. I often end mine with Blessed Be which is Wiccan; some may find that offensive but the term itself is not outwardly offensive to any particular group of people. As long as a person is not being discriminatory then there is no reason why they cannot show an expression of their beliefs/faith.
Blessed Be.

I can only speak for myself in answering your sincere question. In this great country (U.S.A.) your freedom to express yourself is everything. If you want to sign your thoughts and feelings with The Three Stooges Love Pizza, it's fine with me. That you have chosen to end your contributions with something which has deep religious significance to you is something I can only admire and respect, and I Thank God you have found something this important to believe in. I often wish more people had your kind of Faith and conviction. I hope you will use your faith to help and serve others who may not be living as well as you clearly do. Go with God, and Congratulations to you in your testimony of Faith. Sent to you with love from - G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

If I put "The Easter Bunny loves & adores you" at the end of my comments, what would you think? That's what I think about people who claim Jesus loves people.

I think it's missing something. Maybe like an "you" at the end or something. It's awesome that you are so willing to try and spread the love of Jesus Christ. You should be very proud. In Christ, mrsdokter

If God/Jesus are One, why not put God loves and adores then you offend no one. By saying Jesus instead of God, I suspect you enjoy rubbing our noses in it.
How would you feel about seeing "Allah loves and adores you." (Allah means God in Arabic.)
Jesus does not mean God to anyone but Christians.
I've learned that those who respect others use the word God while the ignorant use Jesus.
