What’s love?  See, love is a very peculiar thing. . . It means I’ve broken free of that self reference.  I want your good for you. Period.  No strings attached.  No reciprocation required.  The Church has said traditionally that love, so described, is a theological virtue . . . The Church identifies love, as I’ve been describing it, as a participation in God’s way of being.  See, God who has no need, (God is God.  God is perfect. Absolute.  God has no need.), therefore God alone can truly want the good of the other for the sake of the other.  God can operate in a totally non-selfinterested way.  And see, when we do that, when we are capable of that, it’s only because we’ve received an infusion of grace.  We’ve received a participation in God’s own life.<ref>[https://verusconditio.wordpress.com/tag/subjective-love-objective-love/ To Love] by Posted by Stingray in Marriage, Thoughts</ref>}}

The Christian apologist Dr. [[William Lane Craig]] declared about theism/atheism and [[objective morality]]/love:

{{cquote|Consider, then, the hypothesis that God exists. First, if God exists, objective moral values exist. To say that there are objective moral values is to say that something is right or wrong independently of whether anybody believes it to be so. It is to say, for example, that [[Nazi]] [[anti-Semitism]] was morally wrong, even though the Nazis who carried out the [[Holocaust]] thought that it was good; and it would still be wrong even if the Nazis had won World War II and succeeded in exterminating or brainwashing everybody who disagreed with them.
