You do realise that in order to 'feel love' you need glands?

Actually no (sort of.) Inorder to 'feel' eros, you need glands. In orderr to 'feel' Agape you just need know the love God offers.

I don't mean to be rude or nosy, but did it work?

With her no. With her hotter friend (a few years latter) yes.

Isn't agape the love of God or Christ? Atheists don't have that and atheists can be good people too, so agape seems pretty useless to me.

Well there you go, if Jesus scored me some choice tail I might be persuaded as well.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Your defination of 'reason' is inaccurate. You believe 'reason' to be the natural conclusion of observal phenomena, but in realitiy 'reason' is the use of natural phenomena to disproove God. If God is indeed the God of the natural universe then Natural phenomena would be the very processes He would use to complete whatever task He set out to complete. That makes Your use of 'reason' more akin to Nazi propaganda, than anything resemblng actual reason. I say Nazi because of the hate and utter distain you have against the one your 'reason' is levied.

Actually in 5 years of doing this, this is the first time I used that response.

Quote: As usual, no explanation or logical reason, simply the same old, "because I said so" bull shit.
I Gave you an explaination from the beginning. But your 'Reason' (of the Nazi vareity) will not allow you to see or accept it.

This is what happens when you jump into someone elses conversation. You have no idea of what is being discussed. so are you asking a legit question or are you just looking for an oppertunity to take a verbal jab at the topic?

Do i provide an answer or just ignore?

Not according to christ. "For he who is faithful with little will be faithful with much, and he who is unfaithful with little will be unfaithful with much."

You mentioned that eros requires glands but agape doesn't. I then asked a question about agape, that is all.

Yes, I would like an answer to my serious question. Although you can ignore me if you wish.

Have I given you any reason to believe that I'm just looking for a jab? Some here may do that, but have I given you any reason to believe that I am doing that?

Maybe I have done it sometimes, but rarely, and as a joke. And does it really look like I'm joking in this case? I'm only asking you a question about agape.
