Do we really love our neighbors as God has told us to?

   How are you going to show your love to a neighbor this holiday season? I'm giving gifts or maybe I'll bake something if I'm short on money.

      We used to know this wonderful lady who would bake these amazing cookie trays. They were about $75 and you got a mountain of every Christmas goodie you could imagine. Then she had kids and the trays were no more, that was pure majic.

      My neighbor has a bad habit of doing these things around 7 AM on weekends (my only day to sleep in):
      -Mowing the Lawn
      -Cutting Wood
      -Playing with their noisy kids
      -Playing the piano
      
      I try to be as good and nice as possible... but I have a hard time finding love for those neighbors.

         Dear Reformed,
         I'm pretty much with you on this one. Biblically speaking, "pearls before swine" syndrome. However, there are plenty of people in my life that I see far more often than my neighbors, and they have their hangups, but they appreciate the help/service/love I can offer. So I'm sticking with that. In an emergency though, I've helped out strangers, and glad I did. Case by case for me.

                                    The most entertaining thing as far as I am concerned is how desperate the believers appear to be to get you to believe the same rubbish they do.
                                    
                                    I have come to the conclusion that they do not actually believe in the magic sky fairy and us atheists really put a dent in their fragile value system.
                                    
                                    They make excuses but they really are very, very concerned that people do not believe. And it is not for our own good - no one that condescending is doing it out of the good of their heart.

                                       Projecting your issues on other people is not healthy. Just because you have Daddy issues (judging from your demeanor - not that I am judging or anything) does not mean that every one else does.
