This is easy for me to do Lisa, as I've experienced the love God has for me and (presumably) all of us.

I won't call myself a Christian, or adherent to any religion because there's too much judgement, fear-mongering and unnecessary dogma in general within most of these systems of belief. However, much of what Christ is purported to have said deeply touches the truth in my heart.

I think if you followed the tenets you've written about here God would be very proud of you. However, I think truly loving your enemy might be even harder than quitting cigarettes. Indeed I needed, and received help.
