I love that! (***...***) It says so much about the paradoxes and 
foolishnesses that abound in 'traditionalist' human nature. 

Presumably, the reasoning lover of the Jesus Christ of the conventional
Church should want to jump to Judgement Day and Heaven as soon as possible.

But you want to say alive in this 'vale of tears' for as long as 
possible, and - much worse - you are acting in a way that makes you
appear to want to force others to stay alive as long as possible. 

Falling in love with someone - real, imagined, god-like or just 
human-attractive - is a *very* bad basis on which to prescribe for
others in your community, how they should conduct themselves or
be ruled.
