"If we 'ought' to love as God does, and if 'ought' implies can, then according to the deontological reasoning, we can- and at least certain people do- love as God loves."
According to Anderson, we have no reason not to love as God has commanded. But when I read this, doubts creep in to my mind. What about this, what about that? These are natural because, obviously, I am human. But think about this: If God said it, we should try our hardest to do it. God called us to serve an love the poor. He is all knowing. Therefore, would an all knowing God, give us humans a command that we can't fulfill? No, because if we couldn't fulfill it, he wouldn't have given it to us.
Can we love the poor as God loves the poor? can we love as God loves? The answer is yes. Do we strive to fulfill this all the time? The answer is no. I believe we should. If we did, there could be less homeless and broken people. I think it's worth it!
