What was the thought process causing you to "believe in what you could not see"? That's a really shaky starting point.
I think that we can agree on one thing and that is that life is a mystery. Who can really explain the process involved in how a child is born, and come up with an answer. I am not talking about the scientific explanation, we all know about conception, nine months. This is a mystery to me, that in a world filled with so much evil, such love can exist that it creates life. Passion and love are gifts from God. It was a brilliant idea that no man or woman could have possibly conceived such an idea. It was born out of God's loving heart. How is life at all possible? That is my starting point. But it would end there unless this same God whispered in my heart, and made it personal
Love has nothing to do with life. A quick conversation with my drug dealing douchebag of a father would make that obvious. My mother was a green teenage girl. A rapist can still impregnate a woman. And so on ad nauseum.
Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, love is entirely human.
And I guess, compassion is also entirely human.
Excellent point.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
