There’s no such thing as love.

Amen brother! Preach it!!

[John Will]

I don’t belive In love, I never Have, I never will. I don’t belive in love, It’s never worth the pain that you feel.

I forgot about my kids. I’d lay down my life for them. I guess that’s as close to love as you can get.

The writers book sounds like it might help get some lust going though ;)

Yes there is my friend. Yes there is.

[Larry Lucido]

I love it when you say that.

God loves you, Laz, He loves you so much that He continues to allow your existence so that you still have opportunity to respond to His love.

That men and women prefer to abuse themselves and each other and profane the sacred doesn’t disprove the existence of love, it merely proves what fools we are.

You speak from experience.

There’s no such thing as love.

Yes there is brave brother, but it ain't no emotion.

[chickpundit]

I pray you will find God’s love. There is a big difference between His “agape” love, and our often imperfect attempts. There is no greater love than Christ laying down His life for us.

As far as marriage goes, love is too often thought of as a feeling. Our Oprah pop culture tells us to “follow our hearts” or in other words ... our feelings. Feelings will shift and change. The infatuation stage doesn’t last forever. We must act on our convictions and what we know is right, even if we don’t feel like it. That doesn’t mean there aren’t wonderful times in marriage, but there will be lows.

Boy, are you gonna be surprised when it hits you. ; )

I'm beginning to suspect you are correct. I think love is basically a biochemical reaction designed to make us :

a. reproduce successfully

and

b. protect offspring from being killed.

The romantic love chemical reaction lasts long enough for us to successfully copulate, and the love of children is long term so that they have a chance to perpetuate the species.

We're no different than any other animal. We are designed to reproduce, protect our kids, and then eventually die.

Grim, huh? I'm a biochemist/biologist.

If you really want grim, check out the random reinforcement tests they did on mice clicking the lever for a reward of pleasurable brain stimulation. The mice clicked the lever endlessly for a chance at the brain stimulation. And then look around at everyone you see and tell me they aren't doing the exact same thing with every interaction, conversation, and interest.
