I do not believe that to love someone, the feeling must be mutual.

That is not called LOVE - if it is not mutual it is called worship or adoration

I absolutely disagree, because if I was to accept your conclusion and take it a step further, it would break down; for example not only would 2 people have to mutually love each other, but they would also have to have the same exact concept of what "love" really is - and I highly doubt two people have the exact same understanding of such an abstract concept.

Love is not something you can define by identifying different perceptions of it. Love is defined by the way people feel ...
Love is not a pattern of thoughts - it can be determined by the love-evoked characteristics of your inner impulses.

... But they idea behind hell is that it is indeed the absence of God, and without God, there is nothing good. Just evil. It is this evil, from Satan and his demons, that make Earth different from Heaven. This evil causes wars, crimes, and all the bad things, but we must endure it all until we can find our place in Heaven without it....

1. Lust is infintely better than love. First of all, love is an illusion. Nobody loves anything. They just feel like they own other people's emotions. Therefore, those who claim to love are really just afraid to rely on themselves. Lust is a real passion because it has actual physical effects and can be satisfied.
This is so typically adolescent, it's remarkable that you don't realize it. I don't lust for my children but I do love them. I don't lust for our pets, but I do love them. I don't lust for my parents, but I do love them.

I've been a lot happier since I gave up Christianity and realized that it is only a perversion created by the Romans and medieval Catholics, the perversion of the teachings of a great rebel and philosopher named Jesus... created to control and instill guilt and shame...
The masses love Jesus, Christianity is one of the biggest religions in the world, they even make movies about him that make millions...
