So Confused

How is it when Jesus said:

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ “This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets”

How is it that we can put down or despise people that believe in different religions other than our own. I don’t profess to know a lot about Jesus and his teachings as I am relatively new to religion, but in my short stint in looking for the right church for me I have found nothing but spite between religious groups; this leaves me wondering how will I ever find a church that is unbiased against other religions, and un-diluted by time or human influence?

I am so confused.

Why are we caught up in such a vicious circle of hate and loathing towards others, can you imagine what the world would look like if we accepted others for who they are? Our place is not to judge but to accept… judgement is for someone much higher on the totem pole.
