	Subject: Re: More unfinished business

	 Even if God exists, I cannot love Him. Jesus I
	might be able to work up a liking for, but not God the
	Father. (Unless, of course, the Biblical accounts are
	significantly *wrong*, in which case all bets are off.)
	Without love I cannot worship.

Problem is that this is what your head is saying, not your heart.
Who knows WHAT god is like.  If he's so incomprehensibly,
mind-bogglingly infinite and wonderfull as all that... you
might actually find the capacity to love him, despite what
your head tells you.

Similarly, it's probably the wrong route to try to 'work up'
a liking or love for anything.  Love just doesn't work that
way, but I see your point.  It's really tough to be affectionate
to a mass-murderer.
