This is what depressed me most when I stop believing. I even wrote it about here in a thread, that I was so happy for God's sake that it existed, and when I believed it didn't,  it hurt me like crazy. 

More then people dying and disappearing for good.

And if you can understand that love for that being itself,  you are on the way to seeing you have a connection to that being's existence which drives you to know it, and the connection is called in this world "love" on your part, so all you got to do is connect through that through the connection to God. 

Your part of the connection is love. And I hope you are underway to see God through that vision.

I’m tired of your preaching.  I’d be interested to see a response from you to what I posted in your, “why am I here?” thread, because THIS response is a good example of what I’m talking about there.

I can't take reading it anymore, it's making me feel ill. He could at least confine it to his own threads. He's just a standard religious spammer now.
Feel free to send me a private message.
