How can you be drawn to a positive force if that force were not there? My ethics should be the same, but uninspired and driven by reason alone. Much like being an atheist I guess.

Really!?

Behaving ethically is not inspiration enough?

I think it's kind of sad that you have to believe your ethics have to come from a deity in order to feel inspired.

It's enough for you, so why wouldn't it be the same for me??

I'm not saying either / or. I'm saying it's better to be in love and act in response to that than without it.

Point is: love beats logic

Isn't it some sort of 'pseudo-fact' that acting out of emotion can be dangerous?

Love can make you do silly things sure. Emotion =/= love though. Emotion includes hate.
