In a conversation with my Sister recently, she brought up the specious old trope that "God is Love."
"He is not a MAN," she assured me, "but rather the metaphysical personification of Christian love."
I have been hearing this shit for eons, and it is nonsense.
Yes, it is true that "God" is not a man. He does not have a cock & balls, and the use of masculine pronouns is merely a perpetuation of male bullshit [so the solution is NOT to twerk the ears with female pronouns, i.e., contrary bullshit].
"God" is not a metaphysical "presence" that can be described with such nonsensical metaphors. God is a PERSONAGE. Did not JC encourage us to pray to The Father? Do we not address prayers ALL DAY LONG to a personage WHO can hear, evaluate, decide, etc.? When we ask God for forgiveness are we not addressing a personage? Would we praise a metaphysical presence? How is that different from praising AIR for giving us life? What would be the point?
"God is Love" is a slogan for someone who is basically an atheist, but enjoys the trappings of religiosity.
I ain't buying it. I didn't buy it in High School and I don't buy it now. It is bullshit.
