Good to see a bit of man love happening boys.

And what happens if you don't love him in return?

Nothing that you don't do to yourself.

Well there's a NON answer if ever I saw one.

Oh wait, I get it now.

You're saying that god will do to me for the rest of eternity what I do to myself now.

That's an awful lot of hand jobs.

Of course, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Maybe you should re-read the the post I made in response to you on the "What is so special about us" topic to understand.

Then he does what any good parent would do. He throws them in the furnace and walks away.

Well with the whole love thing.. the Bible is either mistaken or its just a lie....

Either god loves us and there is no hell or god dose not love us and the lie is god loves us.
or The bible is mistaken about the definition of love (Corinthians 13:4) and god loves us.
OR The bible was written by Man, for Man to control Man with Fear.. "Join us or die and suffer for eternity" its not like its the only religion on the block that uses that angle.

Due to this, it can be inferred that in some form, it can be observed. If it can be observed, it can be tested to demonstrate a hypothesis. Anything in the physical world can be subject to scrutiny. Does this make sense?

You forgot to include the nature of God to keep belief in him a choice. There has never been validatable proof for this very reason. If miracles can be observed they can only be verified by the individual and believers and never outside that. It's frustrating for you but that's the truth of it.

A convenient way to sidestep peer review.

Also it is ridiculous to say that god needs to hide from the world to leave us a choice. Human love does not demand that. You're disconnecting from the reality check again.

Your accusation of sidestepping and your request for a 'reality' check are fallacious.
