Here are some quotes from our visitors about loving god:
... 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.
... 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 is more amazing than we ever imagined. it is our desire to see share with you that love and help you discover it for yourself.

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.
Jews, Christians and Muslims often conceive of God as a personal God, with a will and personality. However, many rationalist philosophers felt that one should not view God as personal, and that such personal descriptions of God are only meant as metaphors, as it was widely viewed that God's transcendence meant that He could not act in the lives of ordinary people.
