Pity. I wish you would have been taught better what God is.

Why do so many Christians believe that a person needs to be taught what God is? I think that is innate knowledge.

Christlike God. Christian God.

The God portrayed in the Bible is not Christlike by any means. He was quite evil. He'd kill entire nations on a temper tantrum. In D&D we'd call him Lord Komaaks. In the Bible, he is called God.

My dear man, to know love, you must know the christian God.

Ah, so non-Christians can't love? The Greeks, the Egyptians, the Celts, me? What about the Japanese or the Indians? That idea is ludicrous, Bill.

For they are one and the same; Nothing more, and nothing less.

God is an entity. Love is an emotion. Personifying emotions is an age old thing, but is it really valid? What is Hate? What is Anger? What is Satisfied? Are there entities for them, or are they merely emotions?
