Exactly my thoughts.

Love is completely the wrong word.

I can't love something, or even have an opinion about it, until I understand what it is and have had some experience of it. And the character of Yahweh is about the most unlovable thing I could think of.

The only thing I love about him is his continued absence from reality.

Amen to this. Authentic love seems to be interdependent with knowledge. The more we know, the better we love. The more we love, the better we know. At least I think so anyway.
