God's conditional love

[AppieB]

...yes, the existence of the Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca, signifies what man's being is constituted of.

So ... therefore Allah? Have you now been converted to Islam?

Does God not exist? Maybe you should tell the people who wasted all their time and money building the mosque.

Does Allah exist?

The word "Allah" means "The God", as opposed to "illah" .. a god.
Christian Arabs also use the word Allah.
It is an expression of Abrahamic monotheism, and not a "proper name".

Does Allah exist?

Man, undeniably, has a spiritual dimension, that was the point.
...and thus, this spirit, which did not evolve from stardust and protoplasm, must have a spiritual source.

Your unwillingness to answer the question reveals you understand that your reasoning is flawed.

Why is God's love for us conditional on us believing in him and doing what he says?

If a person didn't believe in me and didn't do what I told them to then I wouldn't not love them because of that

It wouldn't even bother me yet God would send such people to Hell because of this

So why is it that way with God? Why is his love so conditional?

I don't now if it has been mentioned already:

"He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."​

The Judeo-Christian God exists.
Your, either unwillingness or inability, to ask the pertinent questions reveals that you're not grasping the implications of what I'm trying to say, ...for the upteenth time.
It's not about if Zeus, Hercules, Apollos, Shiva, Allah or any other of the pantheon of God exists, God has employed a required zeal to search Him out, but rather the fact that the mass majority of humans who have ever lived , have believed in the supernatural and spiritual realm. There's something within our constitution that allows this, whereas no other creature can.

That is just a simple 'argumentum ad populum'. Just because many people believe(d) it, doesn't mean God really exists.
By the same fallacious reasoning I could argue that most people don't (didn't) believe in the Judeo-Christian God, therefore the Judeo-Christian God doesn't exist.

If you are going to repeat these fallacious arguments I don't see a reason to continue our coversation.

Oh man, I knew that it was a bad decision just to engage with you. Boy have you made me regret wasting my time to such a degree.

I'm sorry I gave you the impression I was so gullible. Next time provide something of substance if you want to have a meaningful conversation. I hope you understand that this is all fallacious reasoning. If not, look into philosphy and fallacies.

I don't think it's conditional. In my opinion, he's like a parent... he may not approve of some decisions, but he always loves people.
