Jesus said we should love everyone...except maybe that guy...and definitely not that group over there. I mean, the very idea! Oh, and not this group. Seriously, Jesus wouldn't love them and wouldn't expect us to, either.
And it goes without saying--but I'm going to anyway--that those folks who look different are certainly not worthy of being loved or forgiven. Jesus meant all these exceptions, but they slipped His mind what with all the healing and preaching and stuff.
Fortunately, He has us to shore up the cracks. If He didn't have us to condemn those who believe differently and live differently than us, who knows what kind of riff-raff would get into Heaven? I'm sure He appreciates our efforts. After all, He loves us best.
Doesn't He?
