Love without God. How is this possible?

I see zero correlation between god and Love. I don’t believe in the former, and bask in the latter.

Substituting the word ‘God’ with the word ‘Love’ is probably the best thing humanity can do. Because God is a concept but if you take concepts away, the concept of God and the concept of Love, then the sensation of love remains as evidence that Love is not a concept, it is the fundamental truth to the universe.
(I have said in other threads) scientists do not use the word love (unless talking about neuroscience, endorphins and such in the brain) but every aspect of the universe that you can consider of creation, or creative forces, such as the relationships between cells, atoms and even things on the quantum level have attraction, coalescence, coexistence and even synergize into more complex structures to form the diverse components of existence.
Now, you do not have to call those relationships love, you can come up with a complex mathematical equation or formula to describe them or you can call it God but really, what better word than Love?

Love manifests as attraction. God is nothing, everything, and a little bit of both. And neither.

No proof for God. No proof for love. I still feel they both exist through me subjectively (as distinct from a separate, objective existence in which case these ideas could be proven).

Living
One
Vibrational
Energy

@Tony yes God is love, but I feel an explanation is in order for the process of forgetting this truth, because that is how God experiences through US. Maybe this is just my mind groping for tangible explanations of things, but I feel deeply that we have forgotten our true selves in order that we may create them anew.

God is love. Love is god. God is energy. Energy is Love. We are Energy. We are love. We are God.
Everything is about love. Every motive someone has, is 90% of the time about love. People wouldn’t choose to live, if it weren’t for love.

@Tony we explain love by our own criteria yes as a function of the conditions that society has ingrained in us through need fulfillment. Thats not true LOVE though because its just a response to certain needs being met. God is everything, and everything is love, but if this is to be true there must be a logical connection to be made between this “everything” and LOVE. I’m arguing that yes, through whatever means, God created and IS everything. God is pure love, but in order for God to EXPERIENCE His/Her own pure love, God must become something LESS than pure love. This is because without contrast existence is pointless and experience-less. Without contrast, God can KNOW Him/Herself to be pure love, but cannot experience it without becoming LESS than pure love. Of course, God can’t be anything other than just that: pure divine love. So God does the next best thing and FORGETS His/Her own nature in order that WE as humans may realize, remember, create, become, and experience Who We Really Are

Love is just a word. it means too many things too many people. God exists

To some love is an impersonation of god. To others love is a force which controls everything…>.<

But yes, you can have beliefs about god and even as god as the absolute truth without any relation to love. Love is just a useless term, but invaluable as we have no other term for it.

<3 Thank you for clearing up my rambling. What I meant to say was Alex's first post in this thread was spot on and I missed it.

alex you are right . for me too. GOD is LOVE and LOVE is non other than GOD. it is hard to say more on this topic for me.
man i just feel so much love. that is all. perhaps love is my religion. there are hardly words for this feeling… it is so vast.

I found some really interesting advise for the non believers “live as though God existed and find out that he didn’t rather than live as if he didn’t and find out that he did. For me love is about caring mostly and God is about hoping that it only gets better from hereon.

@Tine
I think I fully agree mate. I have come to the RIGHT conclusion too many times before, but only to leave it as that. Just that, a correct conclusion. Never took action.
Now I currently find myself in that state. I have found the answer to many of my ‘life-explaining’ questions, but I find it so hard to do it.

For example, the whole ‘Love God and love your neighbor thing’ I understand it completely, but I always find myself cursing people out in my head, or insulting folks in my head. Thats not love for the neighbor.
I dont belong to a religion or anything, and I find it hard to pray. So that’s another thing.
Anyway, what am saying is, I agree. Now that you know, are you practicing that knowledge? For that’s where true wisdom lyes, eh.
