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 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: The concept of God is often embedded in definitions of truth, where the sum of all truth is equated to God. "Yes." What is wrong with that? It is only from the human perspective that we see a difference between that and challah. On the sub molecular level, on the atomic level, they all look the same. And if you look from a galactic perspective, what difference is there between one and the other? So if "God is everything," why are you and I here? Because we are the appearance of God in this particular form. And God likes to appear in countless forms and experience countless lives. If you would have mentioned this point of view when theism was dominant, you might have been killed. The theists would complain, "What you are saying is that there are no differences anymore? Does that mean that everything is right, everything is kosher? Where are the differences?" And those are good questions. We are not so far advanced yet that we can explain all these things, but deep down, the deepest level of the pattern is that God is everything. So it's not that God created the world but that God became the world. Another progenitor of neo-Hasidism, Rabbi Arthur Green, further describes the evolution of pantheistic thought in the Hasidic world, as well, in his book Seek My Face: A Jewish Mystical Theology.
