The God you believe in
I don't believe in any gods, but most of the gods named "God" come across as pretty unsavoury. I think I'd have a hard time loving them even if I thought they were real.
No.

Why not? iam just curious
I have no personal gods and have no reason to love anyone else's.
I love the person, not their god(s).
You asked if we love God, and it's fair to ask what you mean by "God". It isn't any one thing, so quite an arbitrary question.
Do I love the Tooth Fairy? No, as I can't see how anyone can loive imaginary characters, or abstratctions of any type. To my mind we can only love actual beings that can engage with us independently of our minds. God is compeletely dependent on the human mind. Disagree? Give examples of any God that exists independently of a human mind.

Some Gods. Other Gods I don't care for at all.
That would depend on whether he loves me..........
I am not sure of the answer to that question so I don't know
I try to. One of Meher Baba's three major prayers is:
Help us all to love you more and more and still yet more until we become worthy of union with you. And help us all to hold fast to Baba's daaman (as a child hold's her mother's skirt) until the very end.

if god is love and light, then i love love and light. but those dead, in darkness, not awake haven't seen the light of love yet.
no one lights a candle and hides it under a basket, let your love light shine before men..............
revelation 22:4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Well you would actually have to have a God first to see if you love it or not.
That said, I'm pretty sure a person can still love something living inside their minds and imaginations.

"Believe in" is an imprecise description in my case, but the distinction does not matter here.
The answer is: Only some.
I love Hathor and Nut, I adore Ra, I really like Upuaut. There's a few more that are close to my heart.
Others are cool, but I don't really have close relationship, or they're kinda scary, or I'm pretty indifferent.

If 'God' is the essence of all love, light, life, power and reality itself, then by recognition and realization of this self-cognizing and actualizing PRESENCE, it is self affirming in the positive
I AM - in this context of omnipresence, 'God' sources all, permeates all, encompasses all to infinity; - to love 'God' is to love LIFE and all its qualities/attributes thru-out creation.~*~*~
How the heck is this in the debate section and what's the point of asking such a question in the debate section?
