I think you're greatly underestimating the power of love. It is not just a mere emotion that you feel. Rather, love spans its own existence. You like all human beings are mostly trapped by our own egos. Everything revolves around our selves or id.Ogion wrote: ↑Mon Jun 18, 2018 1:48 pmLove is a pretty standard primate instinct among social species. Certainly, romantic love has a lot to do with child rearing, but conscience is a result of that same primate biology, as is god, for that matter.
gods of course die when we don't have use for them and discard them. You can tell because gods are always coming and going. So many gods, all of them conveniently echoing what those pushing them want to see.
My hypothesis, which you have never refuted, is that love, i.e., God, exists on its own unseen plane (from a metaphysical perspective) and we, when we truly lose ourselves, occasionally get to taste its nature.
Sadly, most poor human beings, even those most zealously religious or atheistic among us, go through their mundane existences without ever glimpsing the beauty of the unseen world of love.
