The reason you believe in him is because of the fear you have of him. Your fear of hell drives you to "love" him and to not question him. What other reason could there be to love a tyrant?

I'm entitled to my personal beliefs aren't I?
Of course!
But you're not entitled to your own facts.

Then why is the world in this situation today? You're already in hell my friend.
More people believe in Yahweh than any other god in the world, so why has he let his faithful children suffer like they have?

Because the love isn't real. The moment you stop obeying or stop believing you can land right in hell. That's how fake and weak that "love" is.
Even a human parent will not turn on their child that fast.

It is impossible for there to be unconditional love if there is a sense of separation especially if one has put the supposed 'other' above. This situation will always cause a victim mentality which is the cause of the conflict.
The inferior is always going to challenge the superior.
If one is divided there will be a battle.

There's a very interesting book that I read some time ago called Tryptamine Palace by James Oroc (a pseudonym) in which a certain type of altered state is achieved by which there is absolute ego dissolution along with what might be called a neurological Bose-Einstein Condensate (single cosmic neuron), which when taken together with quantum, non-local consciousness, puts forward a rather convincing and startling proposition - that everything that is is consciousness and love. He described is as an indomitable and unconquerable love, fearful if one was at odds with it because it was a tyranny of love, the very heart of the whole universe, combined wth a desperate and powerful longing for unity in love.

When you operate fast and loose, adding your opinion of what God was thinking when he kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden, ignoring the scriptural reason given, to prove your point, you're creating your own facts.

That is only one (parable) story of a father's love as it relates to God, and it's from Jesus, who is the first to introduce us to this "Father God." The God of the Old Testament isn't a father figure.

Who in the OT called god Father? I was under the impression that Jesus was gods son and no one else.
