It is not a requirement shadowman.
Love cannot be forced. It is merely an expression of God's essence.

Re: why should we love god?

how do we know?

how do we define love?

is gods love held by certain constraints or situational references?

maybe love is part of our essence too. it appears that way.

aha.

lo the sinner is now a lover as well.

but sinners and lovers go to hell according to some book I read.
