Love vs. God

Love-

1.	a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

God-

1. the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe

A claim of love is a claim of a feeling.

(I have a feeling towards someone.)

The claim of God is a claim of existence.

(A being exists that is the creator of the universe.)

Many believers have been saying this to me, "You believe in love and you can't have evidence of it."

We can observe two people in love: they may leave each other love notes, give each other gifts, kiss, hug, share assets, protect each other, talk in certain ways, feel heightened emotion, touch,feel, and even marry. Love is not an instantaneous thing and is usually a product of time. We know of many people in love and can see them in love.

This is much different than claiming that God exists. The claim of God's existence is not a claim of an emotion or a feeling, it is a physical claim of a being. Millions of people can "feel" God, but this does not prove he exists. We can "feel" love and know that feelings exist.

It's totally possible that the belief in God is simply a placebo effect. People might claim that they "feel" the presence of God, but how does this prove God's existence? We can feel love, have brain imaging performed, and ask other people if they also feel love.
