Of Love of One's Neighbour

I find it interesting that when Christian morality is questioned, the command ‘love thy neighbour’ is often mentioned by those who seek to defend it - such humanitarian blessings!

It is the easiest and most blatant part to use. When infact it becomes a gang attitude.
Love thy neighbor should mean; treat all with respect. But it is not translated that way. Unfortunately we can not go back in time to the people that wrote religious texts and ask them to please clarify what they actually meant.
That is one part that I would love to see clarified.
