I asked the question "Is love real?" and the response was overwhelmingly "yes."
Here is why I asked it.
Love is an intangible yet many who replied yes are agnostic or atheist.
They believe love is real and it is real because of their belief.
So it is with God.
Love is a bit of a weasel word. Classical Greek has four different types of love and in Sanskrit there are 96 words for love. Probably best to take the vagaries out and decide which context we refer to when we speak of love.
“It is real because of their belief.” That false assumption negates your false analogy. So it is with all religionists: their arguments are self-referential, circular, and logically flawed.
Not all ‘religionists’. Only those who refer to a central text.
