And I can respect that choice.
I could choose to ignore God, yet i would still be his anyway...
Why is it you don't feel free to walk away from God? You admit that you don't have the choice? That sounds like old fashioned slavery to me.
I guess thats how i see it in a way, similar to the way a parent is with a kid is how God is with me.
Yet every child must eventually reach a stage in her life when she must leave her parents behind, go out on her own and make a life for herself. Sure, her parents will always be there, to provides support and love, but the relationship changes, generally. As an adult woman, free to make her own choices in this world, what compels you to view yourself as a child dependent upon a god?
