When God created Adam and Eve, the Lord never intended that people would use their creative imaginations to create religion.
Because God created us, we are the children of God, and God is our heavenly Father, which is the message God has been trying to get to people for thousands of years.
Many people have come to believe in this truth and worship God as well as try to live our lives under His leadership, just as an obedient son will believe in the leadership of his father.
Conversely, many people have chosen to ignore God and to believe in the god, gods, and goddesses of religion.
Just as a son can rebel against his father, people will also rebel against God.
As our heavenly Father, God loves us and cares for us. But if we reject Him, God lets go and allows us to live our lives without him: just as a father must let go of his rebellious son and allow his son to live his own life.
Our Father knows best what is best for us, but He will not make us follow Him, for that would mean we are His prisoners. He knows our lives will be a mess without Him, but He gives us the freedom to choose Him as well as the freedom to reject Him; for He will not force His love and care upon us. God loves us, but He also wants us to love Him.
Knowing God is about a relationship with God: and not a relationship with religion.
A certain man had two sons:
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. (Luke, chapter 15)
Likewise, God wants people (His children) to come back to Him, to come home, for He has compassion for us!
God is sitting on the porch of heaven, watching for His children to come down the road.
