Love Interpreted

As love, the commanding spirit on earth, the glue that holds civility together, the only “religion” continues on its mission on earth: its roots are trying to be undermined by interpretation. Instead of it being a feeling in the heart, it has been scrutinized by religious leaders; henceforth, the origin of religion. Where love was once an undivided spirit, it has become divided into segments; Jewish Love, Protestant Love, Methodist Love, Islamic Love, Catholic Love, and etc.; love meant for a certain kind of people. So can only these select people find it and become emissaries of it?
How can anyone scrutinize love and break it into segments? It is a power that remains a self-contained power no matter how it is interpreted. It is that feeling in the heart that God implanted and the feeling that man became exalted by and desired to prolong that feeling as long as possible. To me, love is the consecration of religion. Religion was invented by man, the same man that felt the undivided power of love, then tried to divide it.

I still can't stop thinking about that church meeting the other night
