This thread is for discussions about whether love exists.

If love exists, what is love?

How do you prove love exists?

Can you feel love?

How do you feel love?

How do you know it's love?

How do you quantify love?

Is love merely a biological bonding driven by the urge to 'survive' or is there more to it? If not, what is romantic love?

Is it just a religious or philosophical construct?

(Not comparable to this)

Love is an overwhelming feeling. There are many forms of love...eg, motherly love, partner love, love for something etc.
That explained nothing lol. How does feeling something make it exist?

Blackswan said:

You can't, have have to experience love for yourself before you can believe it
How does that prove love exists? You can feel and experience faith in God, does that prove his existance?


Blackswan said:
How do you feel love?
Makes you feel high, and you get a weird feeling inside, warmth
How do you know that's love? You could be sick, had too much sugar, be manic?

philosophical
It wasn't an and or question. Why is it a philosophical construct? Wouldn't it being a philosophical construct make it man made and not naturally felt?

Yeah great but love is neither news, a current affair, nor political.

The God Does Exist? thread was created during a dark, chaotic time in forum history where the topic of God's existence was hijacking every topic in N-CAP

Love, on the other hand, is not hijacking any NCAP topics :D

In your dreams you are only limited by your imagination. But in our reality I must say no to you, Zimmerman.

The Does God Exist thread is more of a philosophical thread, and is important enough to remain in NCAP because it is a huge social issue, encompassing ideas such as religious ideals, tolerance and how we live in general. You might argue the same about love, but then, it doesn't seem to affect us in the same sense as religion does.

umop 3pisdn is right about it's existence. It was created in order to organise NCAP. Justifying homosexuality/abortion/other issues with God disorganised everything. These debates are moved over into the Does God Exist Thread (and rather successfully too, without any moderator interference), and I would like to have it stay that way.

But a better comment for me to make is that there is very little dispute over whether love exists, and the question does not necessarily affect us day to day.

Last of all, stop spamming NCAP you guys. Seriously. Moved to Love & Relationships Forum.

How the fuck can you compare God with something that is supposed to be a feeling. It's like saying "Does the feeling of having faith in God exist? YOU CAN'T PROVE IT OLOLOOLLLL!!!".

Love is -supposed- to be a feeling. If you get that feeling, it's love.

Couldn't have said it better.

And the basis of God's existence is faith, a feeling of intimacy and love with the 'creator'. That is why you can compare something that is supposed to be a feeling with the existence of God as the existence to most is based on a feeling.
It's probably easier to prove the existence of faith than the existence of love.
