There are two churches I am in more than any other. Two different denominations; one more liturgical, "high church" if you will and the other is more of my anabaptist roots. I'm a member of the liturgical one (wife grew up Catholic, so we split the difference and go Lutheran) and the other is one that charters three Scout units I work with a lot. In both of those churches, that verse is a prominent part of what guides them which is coincidental. It's not like it's universal in the denominations and these churches don't really intermingle (different towns, plus the denominations aren't known for getting along), but I love the coincidence and the connection between the two.

So I was raised Roman Catholic which means I didn't read the bible (rimshot) but that verse matches up with my recovering catholic philosophy:  My god isn't the angry god of the OT.  He wants us to do good to and for others and lead good lives.  That's it.  He doesn't care about who you fall in love with and how you mate with them.  He isn't judging you for saying GD but rather if you use his name to solely benefit yourself and to hurt others.

It's about love your neighbor...not judge your neighbor.

Maybe I'm wrong and I'll spend eternity suffering for caring about other's happiness more than caring what they were doing that I didn't agree with.
