Why do you love God?

The thing is love is an emotion, it is something that cannot be quantified.

Again guesswork, I am from England so I had had more exposure to Christianity, whether this is important or not I don't know.

I asked if the New Testament was true.

I'm guessing the answer was yes?

Can the color purple be quantified?
Can a musical note be quantified?

But also, why can't I have different quantifications, or levels, of love?

I can love someone a little, or a lot, right? So I personally think love can be quantified. Just my opinion.

 

Not all of it is true. The Gospels are true though.

 

Well not if it's a thought unless you think thoughts are sub atomic particles?

I think human love has different levels but have no idea how I could invent a machine to measure the different levels.

 

You can say that again ! God is away withthe fairies.

 

Karma is baloney.

 

We love because we cannot do otherwise.

 

That's a great comfort for the non-enquiring mind ! They are also truue when they differ from one another.

 

Why would you want to measure it in the first place ?

 

Care to explain?

 

I wouldn't.

 

No, read for yourself and find out !

 

Thanks Myles, I wish I had thought of that earlier...

 

It appears it matters to you whether your views are perceived as being "too extreme". Can you say more about this - how come this matters to you, what potential losses or dangers are there for you if other people do perceive your views as "too extreme"?

 

It's never too late. Read them again and see whether you can find any inconsistencies. They were not eyewitness accounts, so think of Chinese whispers. How about feeding the multitude, walking on water , raising a putrefying corspse from the dead?

I rest my case.

 

NDS

so then there is the issue whether your free will is the only required ingredient for any action.
For instance can you decide to torture me right now, or are there quite a range of social, geographic, physical and environmental issues that frustrate that desire?

Impossible for who?
Someone like you or me?

 

its clear you were tired since you obviously gave up reading anything except your own posts quite a while back in the piece ...

there's an interesting part in the gita where krishna assumes the universal form (ie "you are a bug" form) and this causes no end of distress to arjuna .... anyway to cut a long story short, if god cannot accommodate his creations, he must be limited ... so "me-as-a-bug" types of understanding of god are simply incomplete understandings of god .... so sure in that sense, love cannot exist

(BTW this point you bring up is precisely what I was trying to get across to Emnos in 10+ posts)
