People seem to get angry when Christians talk about God's love. In many of the self help books it talks about people needing to be loved, so why not accept the Love of God, it's unconditional.

I accept Gods love everyday. I thank him for my blessings and the blessings of my family. I don't go to church but some of my family members do, and they always try to get me to go and I just don't want to attend church. I believe in God and know his love for me and I know and understand my love for him.
To many people associate love with a physical person being in their life and hugs/kisses/sex and that's not all about love. If your on this earth everyday and are able to overcome hard times in your life and are able to live your days in peace, God is blessing you with his love. He loves you so much, that he blesses you to enjoy life to the fullest.

It is conditional, because if you don't love God then you go to hell. If Gods love in unconditional then we would get to go to heaven no matter what we did, right? Unconditional love is an illusion. All love has some sort of strings attached if you look at it hard enough. Some people understand this, and that is why they get irritated when asked about it.

Some times it is hard for people to believe what they cannot see. We live in a world of material. The whole see it touch it style. And with so many negatives how can you be sure there is someone who can love you 'unconditionally'? Don't lose heart. Everyone needs to be loved in order to feel accepted, most people need a solid set of arms to hold them. Hope and pray that they will learn there is more to life than what can be see and touched. God bless.

John records the words of Jesus this way: "If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world-the world hates you."
Here, for many believers, is the clear reason why "the world" often is closed to the message and ministry of "faithful believers." How much clearer could Jesus be? We are not part of the world, we are separate, different, "other than." Therefore, the world rejects us. We shouldn't be shocked by this, he says. Make sense? But is this really what Jesus is talking about?
Many will come in My Name saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive Many...Matt. 24:5
Like a good Father, God knows the voices of His children and can identify their cries through the throngs of unblievers.

Well, love in general can hurt, so people who have been burned are a little less eager to jump back into the fire.
Nobody is getting angry about God's "Love", people get angry with Xians always trying to convince them and convert them.

Because you're constantly trying to choke me with it. I'm Agnostic. I don't believe in Jesus or your version of God. Why are you always trying to force your beliefs on me????
As many times as I tell people, I don't believe your fairy tales and yet you STILL try to smother me with it. It makes me feel violated.
You really expect me to believe that some old guy made an ark and loaded two critters from every part of the world on it?
You want me to believe that despite science proving facts about evolution - you want me to believe that God got a wild hair up his *** one day and decided to make us?
You want me to believe in heaven and hell? That's just a story that helps people sleep at night.
The whole thing is outrageous and outlandish. Show me facts and I'll buy into your "Story".
Why do we get upset? Well it's because I get on here and I constantly see morons like you begging, pleading and negotiating with me to accept your religion. If you'd stop trying to convert people maybe we wouldn't get so pissed off when you bring up Christianity.
Good Day Madam.

It's not hard to accept love. It's hard to accept a myth, especially when the origins of the that myth are well documented.
Your religion is laughably false. And if you'd study a bit, you'd understand that. It has nothing to do with love. It has to do with rationality.

Well, for those who don't believe in God, it's like telling them to accept love from your imaginary friend. You can't force your own beliefs on someone else, and you can't expect everyone to feel the way you do about things.
Plus, people that do that sound & look egotistical and pompous. Allow people to have their own beliefs!

Sometimes the circumstances of their lives does not seem to match the idea that a God loves them.

We all accept and want love, but it should not come from Christian only. If you love others, do it because you care. We do not have to be Christin, so God loves us. God is great and he loves us as human, Moslem, Budha, and others.

I accept love...for myself, from my family and friends. I don't need to believe in god to accept love.
