Here are some quotes from our visitors about loving god:
... because he can help us? Do we love god because of what he can do? Or can we say like the vikings that though the gods will eventually lose and die, for odin we shall fight.
... because it also makes my dad happy. I used to date this guy who went to church just for the community there, but now I am also a true believer.
... 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.

Facts on god and church:
The word God was used to represent Greek Theos, Latin Deus in Bible translations, first in the Gothic translation of the New Testament by Ulfilas. For the etymology of deus, see *dyeus. Greek theos is possibly unrelated, and of uncertain origin. De Saussure tentatively connected Baltic and Germanic words for "spook", ultimately cognate with Latin fumus "smoke".
"The word “binitarian” is typically used by scholars and theologians as a contrast to a trinitarian theology: a theology of “two” in God rather than a theology of “three”... it is accurate to offer the judgment that most commonly when someone speaks of a Christian “binitarian” theology the “two” in God are the Father and the Son...A substantial amount of recent scholarship has been devoted to exploring the implications of the fact that Jesus was worshipped by those first Jewish Christians, since in Judaism "worship" was limited to the worship of God" (Barnes M. Early Christian Binitarianism: the Father and the Holy Spirit.
