(August 3, 2017 at 5:07 am)Die Atheistin Wrote: I don't think there is such a thing like uncoditional love, there is always a reason why you love someone. Maybe you love someone because he/she is part of the family, maybe you like someone's personality and so on. Unconditional love may be figurative, but I don't think it makes sense even as a metaphor.
Unconditional love for my children seems to be hardwired into me by evolution, I wouldn't hesitate to wrestle a tiger to protect them, as would most parents I presume. If you say, them being my children counts as a condition then sure, if you go to that meta level, nothing in the universe is unconditional.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
