Like any parent, though, God wants His children to grow up and stand on their own feet.

The God you described earlier could not care whether or not you grow up, since all he did was set in motion "nature" eons ago and he has done nothing since, except to regret the inevitable loss of every life which sprung from his "creation."

The problem you have with your God is that your God is not based upon anything other than your own unique imagination. In that sense God did not create you in His image, but you created God in your image.

Thus when you "worship" this God you are only paying homage to yourself, since you are the creator of this unique imaginary creature you call God.

BTW the one true and living God does answer prayers. Whether you like it or not he is actively intervening in your life. The fact that you are sitting here typing and not feeding the worms right now is a testament to his longsuffering and mercy. We have all sinned and we are all worthy of the death that will inevitably overtake us someday. You owe your very existence to him and him alone.

Thank him.

Proof positive your reading comprehension is sub-par. Do you care whether your children grow up?
