Love is all about sensation, interaction and sharing. Love can only be between two who, as Jesus said, recognize each other by works and deeds. Just look at your own love relationships to confirm this.
You thus cannot love a God that is not around to love you back with the expressions of love which are works and deeds.
I guess you were too busy trying to find the right emoticon to bother thinking of your own life experience.
Well put. I concede, damn it, that there are levels of delusion.
I also agree that religious believers in the supernatural are highly delusional.
I will not argue against you on that as you seem to have given these issues some thought.
Given the damage religions and their adherents do, how can we help our friends and neighbors recognize their delusional thinking and help them return to reality when they dig in even more when we tell them the truth of their delusional thinking?
As for Gods works and deeds, they are neverending connections between the animate objects and inanimate objects we call existence, but also our consciousness is directly linked to that of God’s in that he transferred his spark to create our fires.
Thanks for showing your delusional thinking, but let’s say I believe you.
If your consciousness is connected to God’s, linked is the word you used, ask your version of God why he always kills when he could cure just as easily.
When one reaches the age of reason it’s not so much a rejection of the supernatural as it is becoming a victim of the overwhelmingly prevalent, pervasive forces in play … ergo … getting on your hands and knees to crawl and lick the footprints of the rich … more politely … start a lifetime journey in the pursuit of prosperity.
