"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

God IS Love. God is also perfect and so his Love is perfect.

1 Corinthians 13: 11-12

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

It is childish and absurd to believe in God in that what we see in the world could not possibly be reality if God is love.

But now I have matured a little and have put away childish things. I saw but a poor reflection, as in a mirror, but as I finally looked closely, God and myself were face to face ; God is human. That accounts for all of Gods short commings that we read in scripture. The bible was writen by fallable human beings with merit and flaws, just like the God they invented. As I looked closely I started to know in part, but when I was brave enough to look closer I now know fully that the bibles God does not exist.

God IS Love. God is also perfect and so his Love is perfect.

Love defined by God breathed words:
1 John 4: 18

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

Perfect Love can not inspire fear, instead it must banish fear, because there is no fear in perfect love....

If the bibles God really was Love then there would be no threats and punnishment that would inspire fear, as one is not perfect in Love who fears. As it is written, it is because fear has to do with punnishment. If God's goal is that we are to be perfect in Love, then there can be no fear inspired by God. Yet... God's various punishments inspire fear. God's hell is the ultimate threat to Gods alleged goal in human beings attaining perfection in Gods Love.

God is not Love...

More God breathed words defining Love:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=53&chapter=13&version=64
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....."

If the bibles God really existed then the world we live in would be very different than it actually IS. What we see in the world would reflect the bible writers claims of what God IS.

There would not be one case of human beings dieing, especially dieing horribly painful deaths from natural causes. Not just disease, that is not always the fault of human beings, but natural disastors as well. Children as well as adults dieing in agony from natural causes. Not if there really was a perfect, all powerful, loving God. No. Even as we read scripture God acts contrarily to the bibles God breathed definition of what Love is. God is not love.

God IS Love. Love ALWAYS PROTECTS. Love NEVER FAILS!....or so it is written in God breathed words... 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Deut. 12:32, Prov. 30:5-6, 2 Peter 1:20-21.

1 Corinthians 13:1
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=53&chapter=13&version=64
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."

The bibles God is not but a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal that men clang incoherently. God is an invention of the bibles writers. Loud yet hollow are the false claims of the men of the bibles God.

The bibles God does not have the kind of love as it is defined in the bible; the bible's God IS nothing......
