“You wouldn't know what love is if it wasn't for God.”
Considering that your god is apparently comfortable with sending most of humanity, his children, to Hell, for not worshiping him, or for worshiping him in the wrong way, or worshiping him in the right way, but having an inborn trait he dislikes… I can only hope I don’t know his form of love.
“In fact, come to think of it. You probably don't.”
Feel free to show that you can actually measure the amount of love i feel and compare it to what comes out of your love-muscle.
“No wait.”
Jesus, pick a lane.
“ Your answer is probably something like this: "Love is a chemical reaction in the brain influenced by the way the starts shine on the yellow elephants in the Gnorgy solar system...yadayadayada....”
Are you confusing atheism, materialism, astrology, and god ONLY knows what else?
No, this is not how i define love.
“Either way. If God exists,”
Big if.
“ and if he created us,”
Almost as big.
“ and if he loves us,”
Hell exists. If anyone is in it, love isn’t God’s biggest motivator.
“and if he sent his son to die for us,”
Not stretching this point out on a limb or anything…
“then it would be unreasonable to assume that he would force us to love him.”
Why?
If loving him is the only way to avoid Hell, and he’s even slightly benevolent, then he’d do ANYTHING to make sure we get to heaven. He’s already shown that he thinks the end justifies the means…
“Then, however, we are left to love someone or something better than him.”
Well, Doublefudge chocolate DOES exist. I know this.
“ So, by all means, go ahead and do that. Nobody keeps you.”
SO very glad to have your permission.
“ Is that hell? I don't know.”
No, you really don’t.
“But make no mistake.”
This is about knowing what Love means,right?
“ Eternity is a long time. And even getting laid in eternity is probably more like hell than heaven.”
Wow, do YOU need a blowjob.
