A loving person

A loving person
A loving person who is reliant upon a myth to be loving toward others is not a loving person at all due to the fact that it basically means that individual would be unloving were that myth to be proven as such.

Proven fact

Atheists make better christians than christians do the end. 
There is tons of studies and  other stuff out there you can find the evidence.

A loving person is a loving person. It makes no sense to start with "A loving person who is X is not a loving person at all" whatever the 'X' represents.

If you said ""Loving person" who is X is not a loving person at all" it would have worked because you would have used air quotes as scare quotes (you can also use the singularized scare quotes themselves of course as well as speechmarks) to correctly use the use mention distinction. "Loving person" in quotes as opposed to just saying: loving person--is like saying "so-called loving person" in this context. Aside from clear context you could also simply use singularized scare quotes to make it extra extra clear.

For example 3 different ways to amend your statement:

It is indeed often the case though that people who attempt to base their love on The Bible fall very very short of being a loving person.

Those who cherry-pick the fuck out of The Bible (and basically ignore the Old Testament completely) regularly are loving people... both in practice and in personality... but that's because by cherry-picking the fuck out of The Bible they are NOT basing their love on The Bible.

People who don't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ (atheists) are better at following Jesus Christ (being a Christian) than people who believe in the divinity of Jesus Chirst (Christians)?

Huh

meh...

If God does not love you then what truly can you know of love?

You d-bags are a good example. Most of you only see love as an emotion or feeling.. Never having experiencing anymore than what love offers on the surface, yet you want to judge all of creation by your narrow band understanding of love tells you it is.

We know D(delusional)-rich, with out god we can know nothing. Blah, Blah, Blah!

Edit: Needed to define the D.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Your gawd must be so proud to use you as an example of how he wants people to know and feel his "love".
