[Charlatan]

Christianity is about love, hope, showing the way to a 'purer' life, and instilling fear into people. Loving each other is important, hope that you can amend your wicked ways is important - through forgiveness - and showing people how to live a moral life is also important.

Saying God created love leads me to believe that there is no creation as such, other than a big bang or whatever, as love comes down to instinct, and it can be shown to be that way as you study people. There is no good in people, only living for their needs, but if you need someone you love them maybe in extreme cases. Seeing as how there is no non natural aspects to love, it must be natural, so is not magical, so was not cast upon us by God.

Hope that someone else can forgive you for transgressions againt them is important, as it leads to a moral society. Hope that you can amend your ways through being forgiven by them is also important. Hope that you can appease a God by asking His forgiveness for what you have done has no merit, as it was not about Him. The only case here is one of God saying that you must be forgiven through Him, so He acts as a tributary towards forgiveness, as He has made Himself the end goal. So basically it is because He says so, and maybe it is true.

Christian values are important in making for a good society, one that upholds those values will prosper, but as you can see, it is for the wrong reasons.
