What does it mean to love God? Hitler may have thought that killing Jews showed that love - by avenging the death of Jesus.

Same with loving your neighbors. Who's your neighbor? Why didn't Jesus say, "Love God and love every person as you love yourself"? Hitler might have thought that Jews were not his "neighbor" - i.e., weren't in his ethnic group.

There's really no objective way to identify a Christian other than, do they claim to be one.
