Ya better get used to being solitary,.......... and invest in lube.
Here is your girlfriend for the foreseeable future.

But, seriously, any god that frightens its people into not living the way they want isn't a being worthy of worship. Instead of twisting yourself into knots and punishing yourself for simply being human before some non-apparent (and non-existent) authority figure can do it, why not fucking relax, live life, and let this so-called god of yours judge you at the end? I mean, he gave you a life to live, right? Not one to be scared and self-loathing with all the damn time.
Also, see a real psychiatrist.

Go get a girlfriend.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

#1 Which one? The one portrayed in the 60something books of the bible? Or a "god" as creator of everything in general?
#2 Why? Which part of the "definition" is so awesomingly love deserving?
#3 Lets say he indeed deserves, but i dont (like to) love him? Will that have any negative consequences for me? Theres lots of girls out there who deserve my love too, but i dont love them (all) too. None of them has harmed me for not loving them.....so far.

If this woman isn't right for you, MK, then she isn't right for you. Stop being led around by your peen.

I doubt the woman even has a clue regarding his intentions.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I know women exist and I know that love with a woman is possible.
I know neither of these when it comes to deities.
I prefer the real love of a woman to the imaginary love of a deity.

You tell us that we require judgement, not absolute designers.
Well, we have judgment. Requirement met.
