Agh! Am I not trying hard enough? I don’t hate people that never did anything to me. I mean, Rosie O’Donnell would probably be on my hit list if I had one, but she’s just annoying and I don’t care. If she was being stabbed in a dark alley by Donald Trump (or a hobo), I would grab a bottle and break the end off and threaten Donald (or the hobo) away. Then I would take Rosie to the hospital and probably send flowers if she survived the delicate surgery.
Anyway, the point is, even though I don’t like some people, Rosie O’D never did anything to me personally, and therefore I don’t hate her. But that’s not what Jesus would do. He would love Rosie. I don’t know how to do that, especially without meeting her. Look: I have no doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t get along, so it would be tough to love her. But how do you even love someone you’ve never met? I guess if you know them through talking on the phone or e-mails you could love them, but Rosie and I haven’t done that either. How do you love someone you’ve never met?
In the beginning, God created everything…. Then His creation screwed up. Am I able to love someone like Rosie? Someone I don’t particularly like, whose views are so opposite from my own? Someone who loves to fight? Someone I don’t know anything about other than what I’ve seen on TV?
I have to love everyone. It’s just that I haven’t met everyone. Considering how many people there are in this world, I’ve barely met anyone. Plus, there are a lot of people who are killers and stuff. Rosie isn’t a killer. If I can’t love her, then how will I ever be able to love killers? Or people that hurt me and my family? SO FRUSTRATING!
