Love vs. God:
I have a tangible, discreet understanding of love as it's an emotion I experience every day. I have love for my wife. I have love for my family. I have love for my friends. I have a special kind of love reserved only for my Xbox. Each of those feelings are a unique, seperate experience for me that I feel.
I have spirituality. I believe that there are higher beings out there, and that there is a collective ether of spirituality upon which all life is built. I don't feel it, and I don't KNOW it exists. That's why it's a belief.
There are some things that transcend the two. The love of my wife. I believe that she loves me. But I also can FEEL her love. It's an indescribable feeling of almost electric nature when we touch each other. A magnetic pulse when we look each other in the eyes.
God, god, goddess or other devine beings do not offer me such static proof of their existance. To say that nature, or snowflakes, or DNA is proof of god is assinine at best, completely foolish at it's worst. One can believe in something they do not feel. That is religion. You cannot disbelieve something you do feel. That would be nihilistic.
