I remember Dennis Prager once talks about the romantic side of God, don't remember his examples though. Some Jesws consider Psalms the holiest book of the entire holy Bible, yet Psalms is quite emotional. I always wonder why God has Song of Songs in the Bible. What for?
Faith is like love, you have to be romantic in order to enjoy love, by the same token, you have to be romantic in order to enjoy faith. I think that is exactly why God plants the seeds of love in our hearts. That's awesome.
My definition: if something is unworldly, it is probably romantic. Therefore, romance is the opposite of the world. But they don't fight against each other, rather they live in harmony. Being romantic helps you to walk your life in this world, walking your life in this world helps you to long for romance.

"爱神, 应该也是unworldly Love. 但人首先是从worldly Love 来学习如何爱, 然后,再进入unworldly Love 那个更高的境界。
人从一个境界进入另一个境界, 需要一些契机, 和许多修炼。 特别是放下自己, 挺不容易的" very nice, make sense to me. i will think it some more...

ZK的解释满有意思的啊,想想也是,老公送老婆一支玫瑰比送一瓶子玫瑰更romantic.
Romantic 等于unworldly, 很有道理:))

活到老学到老啊:))

是啊,G说得很好,要enjoy faith,和enjoy love是一样的。用老江的话说:我们要too simple, sometimes naive;用耶稣的话说:我们要回转成小孩子的样式。
