do you atheists love me ??

[Phoque]

I mean... I don't hate you... So there's that, I guess.

[The Valkyrie]

I generally hate people from the first time I meet them.

It saves time.

I don't know you, so no, I don't love you. Are you alright? lol what kind of thread is this you should maybe call if friend if you need to talk to someone.

[WinterHold]

You shouldn't care about the love of others to you.
Anybody can stab you in the back.

But you must repay love with love

14 posts by you so far, and this is the first one I have read. Hard to say at this point.

Um no. Humans can have disagreements, and even not love each other, AND at the same time value non violence.

You are right, though. Growing up I cared far too much about what others thought of me, and instead of being myself, I constantly chased other's ideas. Most of the time all that did was disappoint me, or worse, make me a doormat.

When you say "love" I wouldn't put it that way.

I love my species POTENTIAL for diplomacy and non violence. Unfortunately we don't always achieve that. Should we strive for that? Certainly. But while I prefer non violence and pluralism and common law, our species isn't perfect and unfortunately we do have conflicts.

I do LOVE my species POTENTIAL for empathy, compassion and diplomacy. I simply don't ignore the fact we also can be quite cruel as a species to each other.

Don't give away the punchline.

The thing is: caring about what everybody thinks destroys your self-esteem. We must select a small circle to care about their feelings only. Usually the circle has natural "loved ones" like parents, and chosen "loved ones".

It's wrong to love all the specie; because the specie -with all respect to you; Brian-, usually don't give a fuck unless there is an interest. I differentiate between "love" and "admiration".

But if somebody truly loves you; they MUST automatically become a serious potential to join your circle and you must repay their love back; at least to some extent. The lowest payment is -in my view- is to at least smile and accept their choice. Not use their feelings and use them with it, unless there's a serious reason not to love them back -like a stalker kidnapping a girl or something-..

OP: Nope. Why would you ask that?

Heathens don't love.

If somebody isn't hurting you, why not pay him back the same treatment? that is more just. There is a minimum amount at that we can pay at least so we don't break peoples' hearts.

Methinks OP is a 14 year old edgelord who just figured out what an atheist is.
