  Now who's being rigid?  Why would anybody try to love an infinite being the same way we love finite beings or vice versa?  It is precisely the infinite nature of God that provides us with the sanctifying grace to truly love beings with finite natures, be it our spouses, our children, our nuclear and extended families, our friends, physical neighbors, our co-workers  and strangers.  Otherwise, more of us will each be thrashing about in the shallow pools of subjective emotions as most active homosexuals are doing.
  
  I get that you desperately want the mere love of finite beings to be the equivalent to loving an infinite being, but, out of the abundance of His love for us,  the infinite being did give us some pointers and warnings about the daily temptations that test each and every one of us.  How can you say you truly love God if you ignore those pointers and warnings?
