How the fuck can you compare God with something that is supposed to be a feeling. It's like saying "Does the feeling of having faith in God exist? YOU CAN'T PROVE IT OLOLOOLLLL!!!".

Love is -supposed- to be a feeling. If you get that feeling, it's love.
if you get the feeling that god exists, it's faith.

faith = BELIEF THAT GOD FUCKING EXISTS LOLK?

and what ari said.

Do they?

Or for arguments sake. -

Does love exist?

If love exists, what is love?

How do you prove love exists?

Can you feel love?

How do you feel love?

How do you know it's love?

How do you quantify love?

Is love merely a biological bonding driven by the urge to 'survive' or is there more to it? If not, what is romantic love?

Is it just a religious or philosophical construct?

Umm I wasn't saying faith in God doesn't exist. I was saying the exact opposite. You said your faith in God doesn't prove he exists, but the faith does right? Faith is not a feeling? You believe faith exists, but not love?



Faith in God just doesn't exist in me OLOLLLLLLLOLL!!

So like, I'm waiting for you to come up with more bullshit "proof" that love doesn't exist.

Who? No one said love doesn't exist?

There's some questions about love that I'll post once again for you:)

Does love exist?

If love exists, what is love?

How do you prove love exists?

Can you feel love?

How do you feel love?

How do you know it's love?

Love is an overwhelming feeling. There are many forms of love...eg, motherly love, partner love, love for something etc.

How do you prove love exists?
You can't, have have to experience love for yourself before you can believe it

Can you feel love?
Oh yeah

How do you feel love?
Makes you feel high, and you get a weird feeling inside, warmth

How do you know it's love?
You simply don't. It's just what YOU think it is.

Is love merely a biological bonding driven by the urge to 'survive' or is there more to it? If not, what is romantic love?
No I don't think love is just about biology it's about so many things. I think it's possible to live without love though.

Is it just a religious or philosophical construct?
philosophical
That answered it. Your response of "How does that prove love exists? You can feel and experience faith in God, does that prove his existance?" didn't make sense... you can't compare God with love. You CAN compare faith with love, which I pointed out in my above posts. But that only proves love "exists".

That explained nothing lol. How does feeling something make it exist?

How does that prove love exists? You can feel and experience faith in God, does that prove his existence?

How do you know that's love? You could be sick, had too much sugar, be manic?

philosophical
It wasn't an and or question. Why is it a philosophical construct? Wouldn't it being a philosophical construct make it man made and not naturally felt?

Logic presented: The feeling of love towards something proves the existence of love as if that something didn't exist love would not exist.
If that is so: The feeling of faith towards something proves the existence of faith as if that something that faith was in didn't exist faith wouldn't exist.
Flawed argument? How can it work on one extreme yet not the other?

Love is just a heightened form of affection or admiration for another being or object. Apparently it has to be mutual for it to be 'love'.

Does Love Exist?

No.

I know I sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded, but 'love' is just a series of random chemical imbalances in the brain brought about by a purely physical attraction to a member of the opposite (or same) sex and the underyling psychological need to ensure the survival of the species through procreation (in other words, having sex).

The End.

Its funny how it all just fades away
to soul decay
from the things the world can say
or can i say
everybody needs a little moment of truth
when they find a new
a new way to live with themselves
nobody ever had a clue
or knew what to do
when they had a little feeling called love
and nothing ever had to wait
if it came to hate
cause you can hate anything before you even try to love it


love is a chemical
straight from your genitals
never is spiritual
never unconditional
love is a chemical
nature is radical
never is spiritual
its mathematical

and everything you've ever known today
is all the world can give you
dont believe in love or hate
its only a chemical


yeah im sorry that you never understood
it'll do you some good
if you look around and find out for yourself
you need a little push to shove
test your love
will that person burn for you
love is a beautiful way
to face the day
but everybody's got it wrong
everybody's got it wrong

love is a chemical
straight from your genitals
never is spiritual
never unconditional
love is a chemical
nature is radical
never is spiritual
its mathematical

and everything you've ever known today
is all the world can give you
dont believe in love or hate
its only a chemical

and i dont wanna be the one who has to look back
knowing my whole life was a lie
i dont wanna be the one who has to replay
everything they've kept inside
and i dont wanna spend another minute careing for the
things that dont mean anything
I never gave a damn about
I'll never be
I'll never be your sacrifice


love is a chemical
straight from your genitals
never is spiritual
never unconditional
love is a chemical
nature is radical
never is spiritual
its mathematical

its only a chemical

and everything you've ever known today

ohhhh chemical
chemical
chemical
oh chemical
?
