On Being Unorthodox

I was reading today, on the web, and wasn't at all surprised to see that the movement toward Unorthodox Christianity is taking a firmer hold of the Christian Community. As religion becomes the center of more and more conflict, more of us are looking skeptically at religion and asking where is the love? The most fundamental teaching of Christianity is Love One Another and daily we see the religious justification for breaking this fundamental rule. If this tenant is so flexible, then its existence becomes unnecessary.
The hypocrisy has overshadowed the text and rendered it basically moot. For the Unorthodox the tenant is a goal to aspire to, not a precept to judgement.
