28. God / A. Divine Nature / 6. Divine Morality / c. God is the good

8140	God is love [John]
	Full Idea: God is love.
	From: St John (23: First Epistle of John [c.90], 4.16)
	A reaction: Used by Ayer as an example of meaningless religious language (see Idea 5209). One might translate it as 'the existence of God is a necessary condition for the existence of love in the universe'. Like matter is needed for gravity. Not totally meaningless!
