Nohbody Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm an atheist, but I honestly believe that the best description of ideal love can be found in the bible. Is it possible? Probably not, but I'd like to share anyway. This is from 1 Corinthians 13: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosst Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I am athiest as well. It is a great passage from the bible. Many common sense things are in the bible that have shaped our society. Its a shame that there is so much controversy over those religous icons who have flaunted their beliefs. As far as I am concerned it is simply a book as any other. Is it overly ideal, I don't think so. It can be something a person strives for. Maybe we can't be that all of the time, but we can try Edited June 3, 2011 by Ghosst Link to post Share on other sites
