If there was a loving God, would you accept him?
RE: If there was a loving God, would you accept him?
So, god of the gaps fallacy.

We cannot describe human emotion in numbers yet, so you claim it is outside of the realm of empirical science. (You conveniently neglect to address the scholarly article I linked to earlier describing the inroads science is actually making towards empirically understanding emotions like courage and beauty.)

It is simply ridiculous to define things outside of our ability to experience them, then claim experience isn't the way to measure them.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
