I can love on command provided I am told to love Angelina Jolie and there is a billion dollars in it for me.
I think whether it is conscious or subconscious, love is always based on some set of expectations deriving from assessment of the to be beloved. Whether love can be commanded depends on whether the command comes with credible promise of fulfillment of the right set of expectations.
What is harder to achieve is to successful command some one to relinquish a set of expectations with a deep cognitive or emotional resonance in favor another which appears vacuous or unattractive.
You are the moron who is trying to shoehorn concepts from ancient vocabulary into the modern word Love, dumfuck.
Are you trying to borrow the favorable tender connotations of the word love to disguise the domineering barbaric nature of your stupid Bronze Age cult?

You do know your arguing with an ancient culture's vocabulary don't you? speaking a second language I would have thought you would know certain aspects of the host language is often lost in translation.
Plus if you do not like my take on agape you can always stick with what wiki says about it that is why I left the link.
