God is LOVE

Funny thing:

People says that, "God is LOVE"

But then they get very ANGRY at you when you say that you do not believe it.

In the "old days" they would burn you alive at the stake, unless you said you believed it. And all you had to do was SAY you believed it, you did not REALLY have to believe.  And these were your neighbors, friends and family that were watching you burn alive.  While you screamed in unbearable pain, they just watched and counted your money.

This is very similar to the way Nazi Death squads exterminated Jewish and gypsy people in their initial conquests; except the Nazi's were quick and they used bullets and they dug trenches.  All the victims friends and neighbors still came out to watch the event and had a picnic.

That is unlike any LOVE that I am familiar with.


Today you are not burned at the stake, but you are socially ostracized, removed from the Family Will, unemployed, yelled at, or ridiculed in public.  Just about the same thing, except at a much slower rate.



Maybe we should go back and figure out what LOVE really is and THEN we can figure out if there is a God and if he is made of this stuff called LOVE.  It will be an interesting intellectual exercise, but first I think we need to figure out what LOVE is.


Because, it seems that the behavior that most people call LOVE isn't really anything like LOVE at all.
