Aloha(give breath) is such a great word to define agapE. When you live on these small rocks called Hawaii, aloha is required. To live aloha, you must have the ability to both receive gratefully and to give thoughtfully. Reciprocation is not the issue as far as gifts. They do it just because they're thinking of you and they want you to know it. Just say thank you and they will continue to think of you! Respect and honor is their culture and lifestyle and is expected and earned.
When you find something you know they would love, you provide it to them, even if it's just a dozen donuts, manapua, their favorite snack or a spam musubi. They know you're thinking of them too.
They will test you on this to make sure your not just another ha'ole(without breath) piece of shit. Once in, you're ohana--family. Then I'm mayor! Jus'kiddin'.
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.

Christian love is taught as 'impersonal(is that even a word?)' and/or unconditional. How can, and why, would anyone love anyone 'impersonally'? Yet, the Christians have an answer revealing their psychosis. What is unconditional love? Really? The whole idea is psychotic and self destructive!
I know who I am, beautiful and flawed. Who are you? Your beautiful and flawed. Thanks for not giving me a guilt complex! I will return the favor!
I NEVER have to be anyone except me. Please be you and allow me a thousand reasons why I love you personally and conditionally!
There is one condition; I promise not to kill you, if you promise not to kill me! AGREED?!
Love then is from a self love that just goes out. Bill, that is not narcissism! Is it not? What the fuck is wrong with loving and enjoying oneself and everyone else(Conditions applied: don't kill me!) as an extension of me?
Why do we let people define what love is to us when we already know?
You answered your own in the post: you took a side.
Humans have so many sides; there is the Islamic, Christian, Jewish, atheist...etc.
You picked up atheism. So you sided with somebody; either you admitted it or not.
You have a side that represents your thoughts; ideas and views.
Though; my God told me to treat people this way:
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
(256) There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
He also told me and told his followers the following:
Quote:Sura 60, The Quran:
Sahih International
(8) Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
So hi :  until I find that you are dropping bombs on my head.

Your magic book also tells you to engage in a forever war against non believers. It's a testament to secularism and humanism that you ignore that advice in favor of something less psychotic.
Still, you see "sides"...you're self segregating. Truth is that the people here are very much on "your side" atlas, but your love of a useless superstition prevents you, and so many others, from realizing that - all but ensuring the forever war.

Current story here: a baby was found in the garbage by a homeless dude, there goes the motherly unconditional love out the window. Our prez came down to congratulate the homeless guy that saved the baby. As a parent, this angers me greatly.
Love always come with conditions, despite some claiming it does. Even the "gods" ask for worship. that is a condition amirite?

It should always be, or else it robs us of are own capacity to be loving and vibrant useful lovers! That would suck! Why should I love the unlovable? Whom have no capacity to receive love, or give it? Why should I waist my time with them! And they are a waist of time!

If we amend it to “I will endeavour to kill you before you can kill me” I’ll agree. Have you ever met the Valkyrie, Rebecca? She is a medical professional that lives in New Zealand. Although, she is Australian born. You may not know what she looks like but, I can assure you she is absativally gorgeous! As far as killing me? That was done a LONG time ago! It's my Turn!

Why do we let people define what love is to us when we already know? YOU HAVENT STUDIED THE GOSPELS PROPERLY HAVE YOU? SELFLESS LOVE IS SACRIFACE. GOD SHOWS US THIS BY SEDNING HIS SON TO DIE FOR OUR SINS AND MAKE US RIGHT WITH HIM. HIS SON WAS REWARDED FOR HIS SACRIFIACE. THE GOSPELS TEACH PEOPLE THE DEFINATION OF TRUE LOVE.

Nah, you're not shocked. Just smug. And you certainly peg the irony meter, talking about unconditional love in a sentence that makes an attempt at shaming someone for supposedly being ignorant of your chosen dogma.
You really do like to say things like "you ought to be shamed of yourself", don't you? Such a model of Christian love!

Sacrificing some other poor schmuck is hardly love. Not a god sending his son to paper over his own fuckups, or a christian cashing in the check allegedly written on that cross. Both are an effigy to the selfish disregard of others.
You can keep your shit god and the blood money he tried to pay himself off with.

What was the sacrifice anyway? he was up and about on Sunday if you believe the utter bullshit anyway.
I always wondered who was doing the "godding" while jesus was sodding around the middle east?
