Fair point, well I don’t think romantic love is worthy of sacred status in the irrationality religion. Tough those four neither seemed quite to fit the love I had in mind.
Perhaps something closer the buddhist concept of bodhisattva, meaning altruistic love for all sentient beings?
Ah, Christian love… the kind of altruistic love that makes people tell you that you’re a fallen and depraved creature due to the sin of Adam and thus will be burning in Hell forever unless you “accept Jesus as your savior” by becoming a Christian ASAP. (If precedent is any guide, I can already guess that Roko’s basilisk will be featured prominently in the new “rationality religion”!)
Well, our baseline is what, Buddhist love? There is Buddhist hell) as well and surprise! it doesn’t sound like a pleasant place. You get there through being enslaved by your lusts and desires—unless, of course, you accept the teachings of Buddha ASAP :-P

Sounds like the plain old Christian love, but with a new cool label :-/
