Here are some quotes from our visitors about loving god:
... because scripture teaches, how can you hate your brother whom you have seen and love god whom you have not seen?
... because mom wants me to. I arrive in the church annoyed, for no real reason. I don’t feel like shaking hands and making small talk.
... because he has given him a good harvest, or filled his cup with wine. this is rather to love god's blessing than to love god.

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.
