I have read the Bible and understand the Bible. but can't agree to loving other humans I don't know. I love my family, my friends and, yes, my cat. I don't love complete strangers or bare acquaintances.
True, unconditional love is a pile of malarkey and so is people who believe in God not fearing death. Only the old or very ill do not fear death.
Quote all the Bible you want, but belief in true, unconditional love is the belief of a fool.
Early Christians risked torture and death for spreading the Gospel. They did not fear death. And they did it out of unconditional love for those who were lost. You have no idea what you're talking about.
