Okay.  You think I'm using bad reasoning.  Do you believe that your wife, family or friends love you?  If so, how do you determine whether they love you, or if they are just pretending to do so?

That's easy.  It is by their actions, as well as the things they don't do.

Like when God does not stop little children from starving in Africa, or stop children from burning alive in house fires.  That tells us how God feels about us, or would, if there were such a thing as God.

When someone, who can feed you, lets you starve to death, that someone does not love you.  And when someone, who can save you, lets you burn alive in a house fire, that someone does not love you.

In all cases, it is actions that are used to judge whether someone loves you or not.


As for pretending, that is discovered by someone claiming to love you, but their actions are those of someone who does not love you.  It is actions that tell you whether someone loves you or not, and if their claims do not fit their actions, that is when you know they are pretending.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
— David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
