So, if you don't give God your love, then you shall be forced to live an eternity of suffering? How is this any different than a "need"? If he doesn't need you to love him, why would you be threatened with eternal damnnation for not doing as your told? Why does he need to strike fear into you to get what he "wants"?

 Hey, my parents told me that if I don't listen to them and eat my veggies I won't grow up healthy, and if I keep playing with matches, I'll get burned, and if I don't look both ways when crossing the street, I'll get hit by a car, and if I accept candy from strangers, I could get kidnapped. Why are they threatening me in order to get what they want!?!

Grow up. 

 

Wow, resorting to calling me a child for not believing in God or his ways?  I guess that's the method, huh?

We are talking about fact vs fiction as far as I'm concerned.  If I don't eat my veggies, I most definitely will not have the proper materials my body needs to grow up and be healthy.  This has been proven by science and fact.  Yes, if I run out in the street, I will get hit by a car.  This is physics at it's best.

What do your parents want of you?  To grow old, maybe have kids.  Continue the bloodline as we've been taught over the ages to promote.  If we didn't do this, humans would cease to exist.  I, however, do not require "love" to grow old.  Sure, it's nice... but there is no proven chemical or physical requirement for living.  It's a social aspect.  People love each other to remain close and continue life, not living.  They do it to have what they consider fun.  Kids can be a great ball of fun and a great responsibility.  But they are only required to continue human existence.  They use love (or fondness) to feel safe, secure, and needed.  But again need, security and safety feelings won't get you to 85 years old without nutrition, safe actions, and a secure domicile.  You're twisting physicality with emotion.  And apparently such emotion resorts to degrading me to protect itself from harm.  Has what I've said hit too close to being truth or meaningful to trigger such a reaction?
