loves all His creation criminals, gays, whatever. Funny thing is even if they don't go to church . Now this is the thing even the people that wind up in hell God loves they are suffering their own consequences of their actions and choices . They all have a free will and choices to make , like any parent they love their children even when they make bad choices,and thats what God does

the bible says in John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God knows what is in the heart of every person. Church does not make anyone righteous, it is a place for anyone to come and hear the teachings of God in the bible. There are many Christians who are staying away from sin and there are people who say they are Christians yet do not follow Christ and live in sin... God will judge all people and knows who is a hypocrite, even if one sins they can repent and be forgiven...no one is perfect, the goal is to stay away from sin following Jesus becoming more and more like Him. God has shown us mercy in Jesus in allowing us to live with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven and while we are here we have new desires and put away the lifestyle of sin when we believe in Him.

I think it was the prophet Mohammed who said. "Let it be known that Allah (God) will love all criminals, gays, bent police, war criminals. And you will recognise them because the thieves will have no hands, the gays will have no penises, the bent police will have no truncheons and the war criminals will ....etc."

going to church doesn't make anyone more religious then going to a garage makes them a car. They just like the image of being a church goer.
God loves all his children, even the wayward ones. I have no doubt he sheds a tear when his wayward children suffer from their own actions and consequences.
If you were a parent, would you not love you're children, even if they made mistakes?

Cos they've been brainwashed by the biggest land owners in the world. How can anyone who believes in such drivel acknowledge that evolution has taken place. I have first hand experience that some church-goers wouldn't give a blind man a light how's that for hypocritical.

If you have children you would understand His love for us.
We are His children, even though many may not follow Him. It is what they call agape love, and it means it is unconditional. We still all have free will, and whether we chose to love Him and follow Him is our own decision. He loves us so much that He already died for us while we were in our sins. All we need to do is accept his gift of salvation and then we can be with Him eternally. It hurts him very much when His children reject Him and I am sure He is very heartbroken if we choose to follow the path of destruction.

People assume God loves them because the alternative is that God hates them or doesn't give a crap about them, which isn't a very comforting thought.

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
I Corinthians 6:9-11
Notice the statement: And that is what some of you WERE - not ARE, WERE.

Not everyone assumes that God loves them.
St Thomas Aquinas thought that we couldn't assume anything about God...least of all that he possesses human qualities like the ability to love.
Catholics traditionally think that God is far more interested in the bigger picture...that God is far too busy contemplating Godself to bother with us mere mortals.

How about preachers, straight people, non criminals. That non-existant god doesn't love them either, nor you
