Actually, basically, Spiritually
Imagine a cow tied to a tree by a rope. The cow can move anywhere in that diameter which the rope offers it. It cannot move beyond that.
Similarly, we humans are tied to a tree with the help of a rope. We can talk and debate about anything that is in the diameter in which we can move. Anything here includes cinema, cricket, politics, commerce, journalism, science and lots of other things. Not God.
Because, God may exist in one form in that area beyond the area in which we humans operate. As we have not travelled beyond that area, we cannot argue on the existence of anything there.
If you disbelieve in something you don't know, it's as foolish as believing in it. So let's leave at this - there are some things beyond our reach and knowledge.
And, the other form in which God exists is within the diameter we humans operate. For that, we first gotto define where we operate. We go to school, to college, to work and meet so many people in this journey of ours. As all these people are within the area of access to us, all of them may also be called God. If this thought truly occurs to a person, then he is like the cow without a rope and tree. The line of operation gets cut, and it's total freedom then.
Assuming God exists, can we say Love is God? Yes and No.
Yes because we shower love and affection to all our fellow humans, and they fall within the diameter in which we operate. No because the love we shower on everyone is conditional, while Love for God should be unconditional.

Maybe if the cow got real hungry and there is no grass in the diameter (circumference actually), wont the cow try to break the rope for its survival? Well just a question so can we infer something with this, we need to break beyond the ropes and ties and really have to answer the questions we want to answer, Love, God. A free cow is more relaxed than the tied one. Comparing cows to us then trying to compare it to faith/god/love etc was good but guess when bonds are broken can we really find an answer?
