Well, we agree that secular society ought to be critiqued. Roughly half of my writings criticize modernity, and the other half go after theistic religions, especially exoteric Christianity.

I've written more on truth in an epistemic context than on love, but just recently I argued that romantic love is in conflict with morality (link below).

In any case, Christian talk of "love" is typically a disneyfication. They mean love that's consistent with "family values," whereas that's the opposite of what would have fit into Jesus's counterculture (link below). Love of God can hardly be compared to love between human people, contrary to the saccharine talk of a "personal relationship with Jesus."
