Why don't Christians love?

I agree with you Sweetie.  That is why I avoid organized religion and just love God in my own way.  I live by a few very simple rules ~ Love as many people as you can.  Be loved by as many people as you can.  Help people whenever possible.  Be the best person you are capable of being.  That's it.  My God weeps over the amount of hate spewed by people in his name.  God doesn't hate.  God is love.  And God created everything for a reason ~ that we learn from it.

Take care, Honey, and just keep God close to your heart in your own way.  God understands your feelings for him.

Alyssa,

      That's a very good question and it could be answered simply, or in a long winded way.   People who claim to be Christians and act much differently than the way Christ is are probably not practicing Christians.  One must take the world of God from the bible and study it and practice it daily.  Many do not really know or understand that God wants them to act in loving ways and revert back to their old ways often.  It is also a difficult world.  We are all faced with stress, opposition, greed, temptation daily, and innately we are sinners.  Like anything else the more we practice loving others and ourselves, the easier it will become natural.  The best you can do is to be a good Christian by setting the example for others by being a loving, caring, forgiving, and helpful person and show them the way.  When in doubt, always ask yourself, "Is this the way Jesus would do it?"  You can always ask that of others too.  Be forgiving as well, as it truly takes time to walk in the footsteps of God consistently.

They may not really be Christians.  Ask them if they know God exists.  If not, they aren't.  A Christian KNOWS that God exists!  There are churches out there that are full of folks who've never experienced spiritual re-birth.  If they throw the Lord Jesus' name around, i.e. "Jesus said", but never refer to Him as Lord, they are either not Christians, or still spiritually immature.  If the only "name" they know is "Christ", they are in the same boat.  "Christ" means "the Anointed One"; it's His title, meaning the same thing as "Messiah", but is greek instead of hebrew.

     Denominational religion creates a lot of judges, and brow-beaters.  Don't condemn all of the multitude of good "loving" Christians because of the unbelieving and disobedient folks pushing their ideas.  The "Gospel" is GOOD NEWS, Glad Tidings; what you are describing is not good or glad, so it isn't from God, or from the Lord Jesus the Christ.
