Actually, god is imaginary. You are welcome.

Which isn't unheard of in christian mythology. At least the catholic realm has quite a few porn features starring female saints and Jesus. Such as eating his foreskin or begging for his lance.

There's a Gilbert Ratchet strip in the latest issue of adult comic Viz, involving Jesus being too scared to face all his thousands of brides, aka nuns, because of the right nagging he'll get for being so late coming back. I think they've hit on something there.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm pretty sure her school paper will say that she learned things she already knew or suspected. Much like everything else in her life.

Atheists were rude jerks.
They are clearly angry at god.
They have never sought him with an open heart.
They take everything out of context, and would not allow me to correct their divergent notions.
They deserve whatever god is going to do them.
God is the god of love, confirmed.

Ps, I like to talk in tongues and love Jesus until I have a fake seizure.

I hear tautologies at work. If God and love are the same thing, then God is love, yes. That means nothing.

Just like if God says something is moral, then it's moral. Sure. But it also means nothing.

If love means actually caring about people, then no. He's a complete bastard and/or extremely lacking in resources and doesn't fit the description.

I am perfectly able to live my life without the need for confort in gods. I know love and its not the same thing as gods. People should be learning more valuable things in school.

I could tell you what I thought of love, but that would be a pointless waste of time. If you disagree with my definition, you'll just be able to deny mine and argue for your own idea of it. Let's skip that step and go off of what you think. If your idea of love fits better with your description of your god, then we have something more solid to work with.

She/he seems to ignore the tougher questions.  I've got another - define "God".  Don't describe its supposed qualities like "the creator of the universe", "love", "all powerful", "the light of my life" etc.  Define what your god is, or what any god is for that matter.  A spirit is not an answer either, that just leads to "what's a spirit?"

If you can't give a logical definition, it logically can't exist.

It could still exist despite not having a logical definition, if it did, it would just be ill-defined and the reasons given for its existence would not pertain to its actual existence.

The body of The God, before creation is infinite pure matter, creation is a specifically patterned void space within the still extant Infinite. The Mind/Spirit of God is the vibrations that matter supports.
