Message-ID: <4918@umcp-cs.UUCP> Date: Mon, 30-Jan-84 20:09:47 EST Article-I.D.: umcp-cs.4918 Posted: Mon Jan 30 20:09:47 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 2-Feb-84 01:24:20 EST Organization: Univ. of Maryland, Computer Science Dept. Lines: 24 Subject: Re: More unfinished businessEven 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. -- - Speaker speaker@umcp-cs speaker.umcp-cs@CSnet-Relay
