Does love exist within atheism? Do any atheists here believe in love? Is it the same thing as taking a leap of faith and believing in a God? One thing I don't understand is that how can atheists believe in the existence of love and yet don't believe in God? This is not to say or claim that God is the source of all love, but don't you have to take a leap of faith to believe in LOVE? One atheistic argument against the existence of God is that there no God because look at all the evil in the world. If God really loves us, then why is there so much evil going on? And then to go with that similar line of inquiry, if there is really love in the world, why are there so many broken hearts and broken or dull relationships in this world? I just think its funny how atheists ask for proof of a God when they don't ask for proof of the existence of love.... |
well for starters those are completely different things. love is something you can feel and experience. god.... well some people claim to feel and experience his presence, personally I never have. |
love is an emotion and something you can see. for example, a mother caring and loving her child unconditionally without any questions asked. |
im catholic but dont believe in love |

very eloquent question. but /thread on sharkbite |
Love in the simplist of terms is a bond formed for another person and your offsprings. It's pretty much biological as I'm pretty sure animals in the wild aren't religous. Believing in god is something learned. You can fall in love w/o knowing god, but you can't believe in god w/o having been shown which one to believe in. If you're Christian... how does one even know Jesus w/o being told who he is and what he's done unless you were taught. |

i'm just stating that there are atheists that would put all their emotional investment in love when there's no real tangible evidence for it in the first place. all we have are just stories passed down from generation to generation, music, drama and people faking a perfect relationship for the media and press etc. Quote:
but you know what? there's also love songs to god and jesus too. |

K, you're just blatantly attacked organized religion... a bit off-topic there. i'm just talking about beliefs, not organization here but those guys believe in their religion because they take a leap of faith that their religion is real. also I might have to add that its possible people can believe in a supreme being without being taught of one. its just like people can believe in extra terrestrial life without being taught of them. its the same thing as love isn't it? people take a leap of faith that love is real and they act upon it. there's no hardcore facts or logic that love is real. we believe it to be. and this is why i don't understand how can atheists believe that love exists but don't believe in God. what is the empirical evidence of love then? a rush of feeling, a crush? horniness? flucuating emotions? attachment? that isn't love, its just the honey-moon phase or puppy love. okay and what if someone feels that God loves them then and has all these woozy feelings inside that their brain keeps producing? would you consider that love? |

well that's all fine and dandy and all...but let's get this straight: love develops when you take a leap of faith. you leap into a place of uncertainty. that's just like taking a leap of faith in above. how are they any different? |
you dont leap into a place of uncertainty, you feel it. do you not love your parents/relatives/siblings? you should know what love is |
^ well I am not feeling any coming from you. |

Why must you take a leap of faith to love? That confuses me. Love and God have no relation IMO. Love is an emotion, a feeling. Someone can experience this without knowing what 'love' is. That is just our word that we have labelled to it. We are 'taught' love because we are taught what most words mean in order to well...know what it means. Just because you don't know the meaning of a word, doesn't mean you can't experience what that word describes. |

Love is the emotions felt by two people. Belief in god involves believing that a senior citizen built an ark that housed all the species on earth who lived within walking distance of noah. |
Silly Christian, Myths are for kids! |
