Pro: love and relationships are “chemical reactions in the brain”, as you put it, and not planted in everyone by some intelligent creator. you just believe that – probably because you read it in a book which is nonsense in a thousand different scientific ways, and was written thousands of years ago by simple, primitive men – and it’s all well and good, but believing in something, no matter how strong, doesn’t make it true. As far as evidence goes, we were not created by an intelligent, loving creator, but exist because of a chain of coincidences, and the idea of love is merely a trick of the brain to make us reproduce, and by no means a seed by an all-loving creator.

Con: I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I feel sorry for your family, friends and girlfriend. Because now you must say to them: “I am having a chemical reaction in my brain toward you right now.” You can never say “I love you” because you would not be honest or truthful because you really don’t know what love is because love is about relationship, not about chemicals. I am sad that you have not encountered the love of God in your heart, nor have you seen the miraculous, like the formation of a baby in the womb or the formation of the eyeball, or the formation of the universe first-hand. You have bought into some scientists theories which many, many scientists today, if you choose to read widely, are realizing are incorrect and many scientists are concluding that the universe had to be created by an intelligent designer. But as I said, more importantly, I am sad that you say to your girlfriend, “I’m having a chemical reaction in my brain right now toward you.”….

Pro: suppose these chemicals are removed from both of our bodies. do you think you could still feel love because you encountered the love of god, and i couldn’t because i didn’t?
knowing for real what love is doesn’t make it less of an emotion for people who acknowledge where it comes from. i am fully aware of the reasons that make me feel the way i feel, and i learned to accept them; i can cope with them without having to invent an imaginary concept that will make me feel more comfortable with the world and my feelings. When people say “i love you”, they mean they feel the sensation of love, and they don’t think about how or why they feel it, they just do. At the end of the day, if someone feels it, it doesn’t matter where it comes from. people who are not religious simply learned to accept the truth.
I can assure you that your experience of love is the exact same sensation as everyone else’s, you just believe that it comes from somewhere else because it comforts you.

Con: I can understand your reasoning. The very fact that you have had to “accept” and “cope” with the conclusions you have reached indicate that there is something more and bigger than you behind it all. Let me ask you this question: Why couldn’t there be something or someone bigger than all of this and all of us? What do you fear about the fact that indeed there could be an intelligent designer behind it all?

Revelation 4

1 After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne 3 that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. 7 The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!” 9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

Revelation 19

1 After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of our God: 2 for true and righteous are his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand. 3 And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages. 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah. 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his bondmen, and ye that fear him, small and great. 6 And I heard as a voice of a great crowd, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah, for the Lord our God the Almighty has taken to himself kingly power.
7 Let us rejoice and exult, and give him glory; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. 8 And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.

9 And he says to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God. 10 And I fell before his feet to do him homage. And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Do homage to God. For the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

11 And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, called Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness. 12 And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself; 13 and he is clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which are in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen. 15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp two-edged sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And he has upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great supper of God, 18 that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiliarchs, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses and of those that sit upon them, and flesh of all, both free and bond, and small and great.

19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army.

20 And the beast was taken, and the false prophet that was with him, who wrought the signs before him by which he deceived them that received the mark of the beast, and those that worship his image. Alive were both cast into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone; 21 and the rest were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which goes out of his mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
