Tell me why it is so hard for you to?

I am an atheist and I DO love unconditionally. I love my son and husband and family with all my heart, UNCONDITIONALLY.

It is always a good thing for people to be able to love, to love others without judgment or condemnation, as you say. I could not agree more.

I can and do love unconditionally. Then you ask, "Is this not to do as God asks?" ..... it is at this point that we differ. I do not believe in god, any god. Yet I can and do love unconditionally.

Do you believe that a person can love unconditionally without believing in a deity?

I also believe, as an atheist and a pantheist, that we are all connected, as you say, that we are all One. So perhaps your beliefs and mine are not so different after all.

... God does ask us to love one another. But don't confuse the fact that there is truly only one God! Buddha and others don't qualify as the bible says. Love is universal, but God is not a universal God, if everyone is trying to make him fit their God of choice other wise. Almost all problems start with religion. Christ was never a religion. He was and is the Son of God, and man. Deny Him and He will deny you before his Father. Good Luck! In Christian Love. Steve

Hare Krsna,Please accept my obiesances!

I understand why your asking this question ,and I think, I have answers for you?

We cant be spiritual, and do Spiritual things,without understanding- We are not this body,But spirit souls,part and parcle of Krsna!

Our body have defects,then we get old,and we get illness,or die,then there is rebirth!This material nature,wont let us, be filled with love and joy,because most people will let you down,even devotees of Krsna,has surprized me,how much money a insincere Person can rip you off For??Even at the Time Your giving them money,thinking its going to God(Krsna),they are having thoughts what do do with your money!Yet alone Reguler Humans,they Kill, steal,rape,Ect.I was a Flower Child,of the 70's,I thought Love and Peace we Coming?? Still waiting? Cant we all love one another??Not in this world!I think understanding Sri Krsna can make you love God,and See Him, in other peoples hearts,,and see the Soul and Supersoul,Then you treat everyone equally,As Parts of Krsna!But even Krsna had to tell Arguna, to fight His Relatives,when He was wronged!We must do the same even though we dont wanna fight,sometimes we must do whats right,and protect ourselves!Please dont take offence,just trying to speak truth! Beware of Maya!

I love people not because "God" tells me too, but because it is right for my heart and soul. Also, I think only people with amazing hearts can unconditionally love everyone. It's been drilled into our brains to seperate and hate.

This sounds like the "preach tolerance" mantra from Hollywood. It needs some serious thought and discernment because there are many people not worthy of real love. Jesus also said "don't cast your pearls before swine"

I'd like to see some proof if this being a universal truth.

Because I'm too caught up in my hectic and depressive life to take notice of those around me....

It is easier to remove the hunger for bread than it is to remove the hunger for love.

not everyone is worth loving though but most people are

You haven't walked a mile in my shoes.
