Made me laugh. Benjamin, I agree. I'm sure sometimes "Christian" ideas of what "loving" means and the actions that stem from that are the cause of many problems. I realised after writing this post (and driving past the sign yet again) that it actually reads "Speak well of your enemies..." not kind. I'm not quite sure whether that's any better...

I mean we *did* make the enemies. The problem is that we made them by our pathetic fake attempts to love them. So now what? Maybe we should start with just leave your enememies the hell alone or something? Apologize to your enemies for making them, and beg for their forgiveness? Hmmmm.....
