Here are some quotes from our visitors about loving god:
... because he gives them corn and wine, and not for his intrinsic excellencies. we must love god more for what he is, than for what he bestows. true love is not mercenary.
... because you love the lord and because the holy spirit whispers to you that it is the right thing to do.
... because he first loved us. Stand firm and see the deliverance the lord will give you, o lord my god, i called to you for help and you healed me.

Facts on god and church:
Earliest attestation of the Germanic word in the 6th century Codex Argenteus (Mt 5:9)The word God continues Old English/Germanic god (guþ, gudis in Gothic, gud in modern Scandinavian and Gott in modern German), from Proto-Germanic *uan. The original meaning and etymology of the Germanic word god has been hotly disputed, though most agree to a reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form *khutóm, which is the neuter passive perfect participle of the root *khu-, which likely meant "libation", "sacrifice". Common Germanic strong verb *geutan (Anglo-Saxon gotan) = "to pour", English in-got. The connection between these meanings is likely via the meaning "pour a libation". Another possible meaning of *khutóm is "invocation", related to Sanskrit hta.
Aristotle's "unmoved mover" is very unlike the conception of God which one sees in most religions. It has been likened to a person who is playing dominos and pushes one of them over, so that every other domino in the set is pushed over as well, without the being having to do anything about it. This differs to the interpretation of God in most religions, where He is seen to be personally involved in His creation.
