text: I enjoy your columns a great deal Ms. Moore.  Insanely, enough, I agree with Richard, and it's a bit all over the place.  Regarding loving one's neighbor, however, again I fear you promote a tepid and materialistic perspective of Christian teachings.  The Bible says "God is with us."  Materialists think it means, "God is on our side" (as we fix the world).   It really means, "God is present."      
  
  Jesus was very clear that his kingdom is not of this world until he makes it so.  Christianity is for us, for our inner peace, guidance and direct experience of spirituality.  Through this inner connection we will know the best actions to take when we need to take them - read Paul again.   
  
  Christianity isn't so Christians can "fix" the rest of the world through political organizing, even though that's what a lot of Christians believe. If we truly want to love our enemies, we have to be willing to let the world go exactly as he did.
