Whether or not it is evil is still open - it could be total indifference, or it is merely the implementation of God's agenda on us which has nothing to do with any of these things (assuming his existence of course).
So, if your 14 year old daughter wants her 22 year old boy friend to move into her room in your house and you tell her no, then proceed to call the cops on the child predator, is it because you do not love her? What if she says "if you love me you won't call the cops and will allow him to stay?" Does that change your love for her even though you do not meet the CONDITIONS of her specific understanding of 'love?'
Of course it doesn't, because no matter how her mind has been twisted to only understand a love that serves her selfish wants and desires, the absolute standard and meaning of agape in this case does not change. Which brings me back to my orginal point. Perhaps God's love is not your version of love.
The fact that they're boyfriend and girlfriend does not prove that he is a child predator. that's only if they have sex. Some couples practice chastity, and in that case the parents' consent is required if they are to marry. How does that love only serve her selfish wants and desires?
