It's sometimes said, "God loves us." But, even assuming there is a god, how do we know that?

As it stands, all base religions and cultures born from a spiritual teacher, contain a path of enlightenment. Enlightenment leads to unconditional love, or another way of saying the same thing, instant, total forgiveness to all those who would trespass against us, in any way shape or form. As in, the Dalai Lama, instantly forgives China and its people, for transgressions against Tibet and its people.

As enlightenment is the centre point of all these base religions and base root cultures, it is said to be a prerequisite to ascension, as in, "Only from Nirvana, can Utopia be seen,"; "Unless you become as this child, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven," et al.

Therefore one could logically conclude, that , before a person could ascend to heaven, utopia per se, they must possess, unconditonal love, presumably to fit in and not disturb the balance. God per se, is alledged to reside in heaven.

It's only really Abrahamics that say that, and newer religions that (even if they can't see it) have been influenced by Abrahamic thought. I suppose their reasoning comes from what their scriptures say and because we have life, and why would an unloving God create life?

If you imagine god as the sun, then her light gives life to us all, it keeps us warm and allows plants to grow and keep us animals fed. But equally her light creates parched, lifeless deserts and will burn those who expose themselves to it too much, could even give them cancer.
A star is not loving. The same processes that allowed it to produce life are the same as those that will harm and ultimately destroy us. If the sun was too weak to harm us it would be too weak produce us in the first place. Similarly a God that is only love would be an impotent God, IMO.

Once they leave their Olympian hall, the gods toy with us, exploit us, seduce us and make love to us then leave us for dead.
