They will in love chastise and correct them and get them back on the right path, but NEVER give up on them.We may leave God but God will never leave us...He'll be right there waiting with open arms waiting for us to come home...

We may leave God but God will never leave us...He'll be right there waiting with open arms waiting for us to come home... That sure was the lesson from Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son. The son never stopped being the son and the father never stopped waiting for his return ready to forgive and rejoice.

It would appear that certain religions do not read the Prodigal Son story in the Bible they claim to have given to mankind. OR, if read to them, it is twisted to produce a different message than what The Author of the story was teaching.
