It doesn't need to "make sense" to you how God can be love. It is a hypothetical. In the Hypothetical, God is love, regardless of whether that makes logical sense to you or not. Are you declining to answer?
If I cannot make sense of the hypothetical, I cannot answer how I would respond. In what sense is 'God' the same as 'love'? it clearly isn't in any way that agrees with ordinary language.
In your scenario, I would go for truth over love, facts over fulfillment. If those happens to be a deity, so be it.
