I am about to ask a serious but utterly reprehensible question

I like your replies. I don't necessarily agree with them all. But, I understand your thinking. And I respect that you have an open mind.

One point. I don't think God, at least in my estimation requires us to love Him as much as we love each other. And Jesus did say that the "second commandment was just as important as the first." If we can love his creation (man), I believe He would be somewhat happy about that! Loving each other can be the hardest thing to do in our day to day life! As we all know.

I will pray for your depression. Thanks for your replies! Ron

Thanks very much I appreciate the polite discourse, and you saying I have an open mind. Indeed, I'm open to any possibility about absolutely anything. I'm willing to change my mind on any subject. All I need is evidence and/or reasoning strong enough for me to reconsider. People so often mistake being open minded with instantly accepting whatever they happen to be telling me, without justification.

I certainly figure that any God who is in any way "good" would be pleased with how I live my life. I'd be more than happy to have a relationship with it, whatever it is, if it decided it wanted one. But that's really in his court.

I'm not letting depression ruin my life as I have too much to live for. Things are going the best they have been in some time now, I have several good things in the pipeline.
