Jesus said loving our loved ones is easy- where's the victory in that? We should love our ememies and do good for them. I am asking "everyone" can you find one good thing about the group of people or person you don't like? That's my challenge this morning.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Not everyone who believes in Jesus believes the same thing, do you only believe those who believe exactly what you believe.
Religion is not for figuring out who to like or dislike, only a mans actions can tell if a man is a good person. There are many people who say one thing and do another, they may blame it on the devil or some moment of weakness but they are not true people. A true person uses what they believe in the difficult times.
Jesus said a lot of thing the most important though is 'Love Thy neighbor' it does not matter what they believe or do. The more you dis-agree with a group the more you should love them because love will allow you to understand them and grow as a person.

Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you don't love them. Love and Like are to separate things. Who are you to place judgment on anyone. You don't have to like or believe like anyone else, You have a right to your very own opinion, no one on this earth thinks exactly alike. There are those who probably can't find anything they like about you, because of the way you think. This question proves that. There is alway s Good somewhere in everyone. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that another person can see all kinds of good. To each there own opinion, May God Bless you child.

James 3:7-10 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
People are made in the likeness of God.

I've known many people who don't believe as I do. Some of them are not so nice, but most of them are wonderful giving and loving people. One of my coworkers is a believer in a pagan religion. She is also one of the most helpful kind and respected people in my workplace. I feel bad that she doesn't believe in the same things I do, but have hope that Christ will turn her.

It's not tough at all. No two people blieve exactly the same, because we all have unique experiences and lives. Even two people from the same belief system will not believe exactly the same.
So, yes I see good in others who do not believe as I believe. (That said, I believe that most people on earth are *******.)
Love, Jack.

I am quite sure that many or most religious folks are perfectly decent people who just happen to be misguided. They are not, as a group, any better or worse than the rest of us.

I do that all the time. It is called "Agree to Disagree". My family and friends do it all the time. How boring life is if everyone thinks the same.

I have known many good-hearted people who are also religious. My problem is that religion too often promotes hatred and division (as well as being just wrong).

I may not like a person for a particular reason, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't have any good qualities in them.
