The thing is, if 'love' is something more than a chemical reaction, if 'art' is something more than applying geometric shapes etc. (which is even more doubtful), I still think that those concepts are too abstract, too metaphysical to ever have a believable definition. Also, believing in them requires direct experience of them, does it not? Whereas I don't think that belief in God requires first-hand experience. It doesn't for me.
That being said, to (sort of) paraphrase Kempis, I would rather know love than know how to define it.

I'm not sure that's a good answer to your question, but I'll keep trying.
