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.

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