How do you define love? How do you define God? What do you think of the trillions of marriages that have always existed without your religion interfering?

As a Christan I believe that every human has the capacity to love regardless of their religious believes. Love, compassion and empathy are learned these emotions are ingrained in people and exist in "most" people even if they have a different or no religious belief. If we truly believed that there was no love with out god then we would have to believe that there are millions of mothers and fathers out there who do not have the capacity to love their children, and this is not true. I have seen many loving couples who were not Christan's.

Excellant Question!
Read the four loves written by C.S.Lewis.
BUT... Love can exist, but is it TRUE love. I love my wife and have been married for 18 years, but it took WORK and was a process...
Unconditional love is what we give our children (unless your demented), and is closer to the LOVE that God gives.
I love the way Stevie Wonder puts it in the Song "As" - We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you

I belive there is love without God. Cause before God there was Love. So, yes.
And before God, there was the Romans and Pagans... yes.. there was a time without GOD! God didn't happen untill around B.C.2000. If you don't belive me, check your history.

The Bible says that God IS love. We were made in His image which means we are able to communicate, create, reason and love.

I saw the fundy say that "god is love. Without God there can be no love", I turn that around on you. "God IS love and without Love there is NO God". Argue that one with me.

Sure. Just ask any mother with her newborn baby in her arms.
What Christians are saying is NOT that you can't love without God, but that because God is Love, and we were made in His image, THAT is why we can love.

How can we love without God if we can't even "be" without God?
