Hey, God...

Nonono, I'm saying I believe in both God AND love, but I don't consider the foundation of those beliefs to be the same whatsoever. Two different things in my book.

 

Most of the people who say they don't believe in God say they do so because God is intangible; that is that God cannot be observed by any scientific experiment. To those people, my argument is NOT that they are the same thing (even if they are) but rather than if they say they believe in NOTHING which cannot be observed by scientific experiment, and if love cannot be observed by scientific experiment, then to be logically consistent, they have to also reject any belief in love.

 

It looks like this:

 

Nothing which cannot be observed by experiment can exist

Love cannot be observed by experiment

Therefore love cannot exist

 

If you agree with A and B, you have to agree with C to be logical, you see.

 

And, to take it further, I don't really consider love something to be believed, it's something that's felt, that can't really be proven or UNproven, it just happens, and there's no need to believe in it. If that makes any sense. Which I don't think it does

 

I totally agree. The argument is meant for those who demand that everything must be proven to exist through science in order to be believed in.

Okay then. We're in complete agreement about that stuff then, all around. Hooray!

Believing in Love and God is NOT THE SAME THING.

 

Please understand that I never asserted so. I wasn't saying, "Do you believe in love?" as in equating God and love, rather I was saying that if you believe in love, you have a capacity to believe in something that is intangible and slightly delusional. Moreover, just as lovers can know but not explain the effect of love on themselves, the faithful know the effects of God on them as well.
