thanks, god.

I don't understand God's plan in the same way as you do. I think God added the ingredients and let them go. That initial bang had to have the ingredients that lead to our current reality. God is timeless so he can see the end, the beginning and any bit in between as he chooses. The universe is just what it is, and follows natural laws. God had no need no minutely engineer everything.

For me, this love is completely metaphorical. It doesn't mean anything, it isn't scientific, no doctor would prescribe it. Talking about such things is just a poetic illustration. I don't believe in an external force called love, but the brain is very powerful; visualising a one-ness with the universe and the radiant feeling of being revitalised with positive energy is moving and satisfying. I argue that the feelings do come from within- they are after all, products of brain function. Talking about it in a sexed-up way is just fun

Perhaps then your love is just pretend where at worst mine is self delusion. Surely I can commit fully to my ideal where you will always know yours isn't real. Therefore there's a point to my belief as there's the benefit of feeling love, whether delusional or not. I don't need to know anything to reap the rewards, just have faith it's true.
