As CL said, He is our creator and whether you want Him or not He owns your life and can do with it as He sees fit within His eternal plan. I personally want an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent Being to be my Lord because He know all that is good for me and has the power to make it so. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want their creator to be their Lord, honestly. I know you don't want it and that you will make all sorts of excuses to convince yourself that He's not your creator, what I do not understand is why you can't just man up and say I don't want Him instead of pretending He doesn't exist.

Who's pretending he doesn't exist?
I honestly, truthfully, don't believe in your god. Indeed, I think he's fiction. My question had to do with the Christian mentality of willful surrender, and how it's viewed as an admirable trait/state of being. I doubt I'll ever truly understand it, but I'm willing to try. Not because I want to believe (again, I'm utterly convinced your god isn't real), but because I'm trying to better understand the people who do.
Finally, I've always been incredibly honest about my lack of belief and my motivations for being here. It's not my problem that you're somehow incapable of believing me. Maybe you should take a page out of my book and actually attempt to at least somewhat understand the people you're talking to? Or are you too prideful to man up yourself?
