Concepts do not exist? In the same way, you say, as God doesn't. So if concepts do not exist why are you typing words that represent them?

Love does not "exist", it is a mental concept, feelings do not "exist" anymore than ideas or gods "exist".
If you don't understand why not look up the word "exist" in a dictionary?

They "exist" only in our minds, as far as "reality" is concerned no concepts do not "exist".
I must do that because they do not "exist" outside of my brain, how else would you know what I am thinking?
can you read minds?
I know that love can weigh heavily on someones heart. Love is a very powerful thing and can change the course of history. It can make a person sacrifice their life and can make them move mountains for another. The opposite of love is also powerful and can destroy a nation and take a life. So for something that doesn't have any structure and mass they sure are powerful.Why is logic true?
If love is real how much does it weigh? Because surely every material thing has a mass and could, at least in theory, be weighed.
Actually according to some latest tests on near death experiences, it seems the brain or something in us can go on for a bit when the heart and brain have stopped working. People who have come back to life have reported being aware of certain things. Some describing exactly what was happening in the operating theater when they were suppose to be dead.No the brain tissue would be dead by than and I don't think it would replicate the electrochemical signals the brain uses.

Only in the mind eh? So scientific theories, which are conceptual constructs intended to explain observations, do not exist either? So why all the arguments about whose concepts are "better"? Why all the opposition to theism? It is, according to what you've written, just as non-existent as science theories.
Thats a hard one to answer. To an evolutionists I would imagine love is something that is hard to fit in with the theory. Some biologists will say that we are just a bunch of organs and our brains are just chemicals and electro pulses that will trigger certain reactions in our body. I would imagine because is such a strong emotion and a big driving force in our lives it would have to be explained in terms of survival. Yet many of the things that will help humans survive will be against what love represents like survival of the fittest. Not everything can be explained in terms of biology and as you said mass. Even quantum physics is showing us that there is more to life than what we see.Yes, love and hate are very powerful. But they have no mass. The same is true of concepts which are also very powerful and also without mass. How did these things evolve then? If they did evolve.
What color is love?
Love is ....reddish pink. Yeah, that's it, reddish pink.
Define what you mean by problematic.I think that since logic is true and love has no weight the idea that there exists a God who cannot be detected by any human sense or any material instrument, unless he reveals himself, ought not to be problematic. Yet for various reasons debaters in Christians forums like to say it is problematic. I don't believe them.
My favorite color is pinkIsn't everything a shade of pink?

It's common for people to ascribe their own meaning to words, or to use them in a way that may be different from others. Such as the term "faith" in Christianity, for example. Which is why I asked what you mean by problematic. So I can pick any standard dictionary and definition therein that I wish ?Why, it is in all the standard dictionaries. Isn't the standard definition okay?
Yes it actually is my favorite color

Excellent, Love has no mass.
It took a long time for that to be recognised. But love is exists, right?
How did something massless evolve?
What's snide about chuckling and chortling at the answers given? Some of them were funny. Some were absurd. Some dodged the questions and some of the dodges were very elaborate and that made me chuckle too.
Talk about things that are worth chuckling and chortling over!
"How did something massless evolve?" . . .
What evolved was the substrate that evokes love.
I actually love when those two colors are side by side. But not necessarily in the NFL ;-)I'm torn between blue and green.
