Teach children about Jesus at a young age,

[Ben Davis]

**trigger warning - domestic violence

It's not an argument from ignorance it's an argument from common sense. I never said that situation doesn't exist, I said that situation doesn't produce love;

But how would you know that it's love? You've said that you don't care about the reasons why the behaviour exists so you can't possibly know! To use another DV example, think of an abused wife, 'lovingly' attending to her family, hiding the fear & pain for the sake of avoiding reprisals. If you don't care about the reasons why she's 'loving', you'd not even be looking for signs of abuse; you'd just be taking the outward appearance at face value. After all, the results appear the same, right? It appears that your 'common sense' isn't so common or sensical.

and since you somehow believe that it's demonstrable, point me to that particular study.

There are hundreds in here. Educate yourself.

I thing the phrase you're looking for is Stockholm syndrome, which has nothing to do with love, but fear.

But you don't care about that, you've said so already. It's enough for you that the end behaviours are consistent with 'loving'. And that's a great example of the problem that I have with your statement.
