Our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) become fully
manifested
in
Jesus Christ giving His life for us sinners on the cross of Calvary. We
therefore know our God and have seen Him. (Jesus in John 14:6-10)
Atheists don't know our God and therefore cannot see Him, (Jesus in
John 3:3) You have to be an atheist to look for "reasonable" and
"rational"
love. LOL
