Is there such a thing as eternal love?

[ChristineM]

Atheists love philosophical materialism.

Not really but reality and fact are pretty hot

Love fallen is falling in love. To be in love one must be in love.

With or without religion?

With or without God being real?

I know for me there are people i will always love, even in the face of death forever, and i have no God to speak of.

Do secular people experience eternal love?

Or are we all relegated to temporal desires, and love aint an issue in society?

Charity and unconditional love come to mind. I have unconditional love for just about everyone.

 

[robocop (actually)]

Charity is, I believe, defined as the pure love of Christ.

I can give you a first estimate in a few hundred billion years.

How can we show anything is eternal when we don't even know if this universe has a stop date?

Platonic love is something that never gets old or worn out. For as long as you live there are certain loves you never tire of. So it is possible to be secular, and have love that never wears out, and perhaps only grows stronger.

Hi Amanaki. I believe there are many kinds of love.

There is love for family, for country, for race, for religion, for political party and love for community.

But all these are limited. We see in the world today some love only their own colour but detest those of another race and the same with religion where we see lack of love amongst the different religionists even on this forum sadly, and also national love where people only feel sorry when one from their nationality suffers but appear unmoved by the suffering of other nationalities.

But eternal, infinite love is limitless, universal, inclusive of all and knows no boundaries such as race, religion or nationality but sadly it is very rare today.

Universal love for all humankind is so powerful that it can change this world into a paradise and establish peace almost overnight.

But sadly this is not the situation today where we see more and more division into more and more groups of us and them.
