If you go by Plato's logic of the form of good, you can use it as an explanation to why you love God. For man, In our minds, hearts, and souls(if you believe in a soul) we see God as absolute, Truth, Peace, Love, and GOODNESS. What's the good, more than the form of good? Nothing right? What's the form of good, when it's complete good, therefore it's perfectly good, and our eyes, it's God. To Love what is good, is to be near what is good, and to be near what is good, you must try to conform to the form of goodness, a characteristic of the form of good.

Plato Believed in the Visible World, and the Intelligent world, an example of the visible world, is the things in life which are visible to us, and have the characteristics that align ourselves with ourselves, and animals characters with animals. The Intelligent world which he describes is a place where the sort of invisible dwells, not necessarily God. I believe this logic of the Intelligent world can be applied to Intelligent Design, which in turn can be applied to God.

No for the sake, of not digressing, to Love what is good, is to Love God. We worship, and Love God, to be closer to this FORM OF GOOD. What's the best thing that we get out of life, the Greater good right? So for us theists, the best way to get close to this greater good, is to be close to God, which we believe is the absolute form of God. He has the characteristics of goodness, just like how the cow has the characteristics of cowness which in turn defines what a cow is.

There Fore, By allowing ourselves to believe and love in this form of Good, which we believe is God, we obtain some sort of enlightenment. You can say, it's to make us happier, I'd say He's more of our complEment, not complIment, but with an E. To complete us, as human beings, as his creations. By doing so, we become closer to Good itself, no longer the form of good, but good itself, and eventually, we become or feel like that form of good in return give us the Love, making us feel good and completely good.

I just needed to get that out. Hope it makes sense haha.

God = love because god kills nonbelievers and sends them to a fiery pit for eternity? God kills entire cities as punishment? Pick up the OT and learn about God's LOVE and GOODNESS.

To Love what is good, is to Love God.

Nah man, to Live is Evil, Evil is to Live, God is Dog, Dog is God, go put that in your holy bible and smoke it.

Ok, 206, if you had an evil child, would you spank him, or let him get away with things?

@Godzilla, that's all you do, talk shit, at least contribute to the thread, and worship Kristna's holy booger.

@206, would you expect her to discipline her child for what reason? Why would she do it, so she could teach him it's wrong right? By teaching her child it's wrong, she is doing good, by disciplining him.

@GODZILLA, nah because even if Kristna nutted in your face, you'd worship his semen.

I think we know much more about the world now than we knew 2000 years ago so what Plato thought about it doesn't matter

wow. that shit was confusing to read. i'm not a huge fan of the christian religion cuz the bible is full of inconsistancies and contradictions. and i know too many psycho nut job hypocritical christians who think its ok for them to do certain things and not others all because they do it "in the name of the Lord". BS. i believe in a "higher power" so to speak and i believe in an "after life"... very general, i know. i'm more spiritual than religious, not affiliated with any religion.

Inconsistencies and Contradictions? If you can give me a specific chapter with the verses, that gives the bible any contradictions and inconsistencies, then let me know.
