I was aware of that before I was an atheist, though.
Love doesn't do shit on its own. Actions are what fixes things. Love can be the impetus for taking action, but it's not magic.
I know. That's the difference between love and romantic love...the idealized view of reality. That's what I have difficulty with. Romantic love does require a high degree faith, in my opinion.
I figured that was probably worth clarifying.
