[Discussion] Would love be different in the future if we discovered that all gods doesnt exist?

[Like Naruto]

I mean literally if religions gods was all lie would you think love would be different? Think about it, religions always use love that god exist from christianity, hindu, i mean faith is love. Worship is love, so what if one day somebody discovered that they were all lies, as the religions crumble down would you think the love that we call now would be different in the future?

What? Religion has little to no influence on affection, at least the feeling itself. Idealistically speaking, sure it is usually preferred that one should love their religion above all but really is there anyone really does that? Maybe but the number of those is so small that the idea of love itself won't changed based on their realization.

 

[FreakensteinAG]

Nah brah, we would still have affectionate love, mutual love, and unconditional love. The only thing disestablishment of religion would do is eliminate spiritual love.

 

[Avani 👑]

We will invent some new one.

1) People want to believe/like the idea of a superhero out there to save them.
2) People want an alien entity to take responsibility instead of believing in fellow human beings when then gets worse.


So there will always be a " god " in one way or another. Not to forget the added bonus of satisfaction we get from the idea that there is someone out there who knows what he is doing and things happen for a reason.

Maybe in U.S youve never seen one, go to a third world country anywhere in the world you would fund a lot im sure of it

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Beyond making me feel smug for a bit, I don't see how that would matter.

 

[Aimee Sky]

I think love would still be the same :bouncy:
Besides, love is how you personally define it.....right?

I didn't always live in the U.S though. As non-religious as the media might make out western countries to be, and while technically the majority of people dont act even close to how their religion wants them to live, they still hold their religious identity close which is enough reason for you to take my word for it regardless of whether this culture can compare to that of the middle east or the other third world countries in terms of strong religion connection or not.

I just don't see how religion itself influences affection as an emotion, perhaps it can limit the way you share it with others but nothing further that.

There is not much gap in between :sdo:



OTT: Well a lot of hard core atheists believe in love :sdo:, you don't have to believe "love" as a "magical" thing for it to exist. For instance a lot of scientist believe in love as a chemical reaction and influenced by your endocrine system with a dash of memories :sdo: so clearly they don't need God for their description of love...

 

[DominiqueX]

No, because affection has nothing to do with religion or invisible wizards.

Chaos. Empty. Own definition of love–selfish love.

God is Love.

He showed us how to love by sacrificing his own Son to atone for our sins.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails”

Likely, non-believer will say something against it.

How does it count if he has full control of his son/himself after death? Cheating, bruh.

Not necessarily. I might just type something against it. That's the benefit of internet forums; They let me circumvent normal metaphors with pointless bullsh*t.

You wrong.

See? I did it without speaking!

Sorry, but that's crap.

 

[Deadlift]

We would still feel love even without believing in God, nobody said an atheist can't love. It's beyond one's beliefs

 

[Xavionl]

were still chemically bound to seeking out love, it would effect some dynamics about legality or social stigmas in the long term but theres no getting away from love unless we eventually evolve down a path where were biologically incapable of it, which seems unlikely since its what compels us to breed

 

[YowYan]

Before thoughts/beliefs comes feeling/experiencing. Love is obviously not the act of worship.. Nothing would change other Than having more People removing their blindfolds.
