Quote:Shorter: you may love your computer, but your computer doesn't love you because it wills nothing. If people are the only thing that have free will, we are the only thing that can love God back. Ergo, real relationship.
If your god was truly worthy of love, he wouldn't have to threaten everybody who doesn't love him. I don't have to be threatened to love my wife or my kid. It either develops naturally or is intrinsic.
The unconditional love of a person for family, especially children, demonstrates the fact that we have invented a God who is less-capable of love than we are.
