Do You Believe In Love?

[Violet]

love is not the chemical reaction. love is just a name we give the feeling the reaction brings us. love is an abstract concept, is it not? nobody defines love as a chemical reaction. the chemica reaction is the chemical reaction. love is a name for a feeling created by man. it doesn't exist as a thing.

Argh, semantics! That's like saying skyscrapers don't exist because 'skyscraper' is just a name we give to a building.

Actually... they exist as your interpretation of what an apparent thing you have interpreted as a building to be.

And yes... the interpretation of what it is would likely be the same even if the word "skyscraper" did not exist. You would probably give it a name.

Everything exists as a thing, Cecco... love exists as a thing... insomuch as Jesus exists as a thing... as you also exist as a thing. Of course... others might not (yet) recognize the existence of such things ^_^

i see shell also comes from that overpopulated school of belittling atheists. i have never said god exists. it was never leading that way. and i have no idea where you get the idea that i am saying atoms don't exist. it's not a ploy for anything other than getting a discussion started. that's the whole point of this place isn't it?

If nobody else is saying it, then I will: 'God' exists. It would have to for us to be talking of it. It ('God') exists as a number of things, although I do not recognize it to exist as an objective manifestation what created the universe or guides our progress through it.
