Brothers, love is a teacher, but a hard one to obtain: learning to love is hard and we pay dearly for it. It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship, for it is not just for a moment that we must learn to love, but forever. (Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

There is nobody, in any Christian sect or denomination, actually suggesting that we should live, in our actual day-to-day lives, the way Christ said that we should live. All of the churches spend more time teaching the churches than they do teaching the Gospel. The Gospel, if lived, would wreck any currently operative economy and lower every standard of living. St. Francis is an example of a person who tried to walk the talk. More recently, Simone Weil comes as close as anybody of whom I'm aware.
