When I see things like this I can't help thinking that it is so VERY sad how religion makes monsters out of so many people.
In the scenes where the teenage girl weeps I can picture Jesus putting His arm around her and comforting her.
Atheists aren't the only ones that don't believe in a God that inspires people to hate. That God DOES NOT EXIST - or is the worst kind of false God.
Loving God is not about condemning those who do not believe, or even condemning those who believe differently than we do. Loving God is NOT A RELIGION - it's a way of life.....
If we feel for others in the same way as we feel for our own dear ones, we love God.
If, instead of seeing faults in others, we look within ourselves, we are loving God.
If, instead of robbing others to help ourselves, we rob ourselves to help others,
we are loving God.
If we suffer in the sufferings of others and feel happy in the happiness of others,
we are loving God.
If, instead of worrying over our own misfortunes, we think ourselves more fortunate than many many others,
we are loving God.
If we endure our lot with patience and contentment, accepting it as His Will,
we are loving God.
If we understand and feel that the greatest act of devotion and worship to God is not to hurt or harm any of His beings,
we are loving God.
To love God as He ought to be loved, we must live for God and die for God,
knowing that the goal of life is to Love God, and find Him as our own self.

I was referred to your blog by a friend. I cannot say that I am in agreement with the poem "How To Love God", I am very much in agreement with many atheist principles. I struggle with my perspective of religion. I appreciate the perspective though that you have presented here. I would agree with you that "Loving God is NOT A RELIGION - it's a way of life", however I would say that it is more equatable to having respect and compassion for humanity.
