I READ A BOOK
recently by Eric Fromm, a psychologist and philosopher active in the decades following the second world war.
He claims that love is more of an interpersonal creative activity than an emotion to be experienced.
oh great more intellectuals telling us how to live

tell me more about this great man of god
I don’t think he distinguished between the benefits of having a literal faith in God and merely using the concept and traditions of Christianity as a form of moral instruction.
Most intellectuals walk this line, admittedly or not.
Their canon rests on interpretations of monotheistic myths such as
Paradise Lost or Dumb & Dumber
the most annoying sound in the world?
Yes, the bible claims the soul of western literature with its language and symbolism resurfacing in all later epochal works.
