christian "love"

[Creed of Heresy]

Which means the son leaves salvation to live a life apart from the umbrella the father provides. Again he did not loose it as the story shows the son is free to return to the father's house at anytime. The boy just refuses to accept to live under his father so he is free to go and do as he pleases. As such he is also no longer under the father's protection, meaning he will be subject and held to account as the rest of the world will be.

I dunno what father you're talking about, but my father died when I was three years old and that's the only father I claim to have, given that he provided me with my genetics.

I don't recall a "god" strand being in our genetic chain.

A more fitting analogy: The son is born of his mother and father, and then an organization of reality-denying ascetics absconds him. They tell him he has a father, a different father, a more powerful and potent and all-knowing father, and bring him up using what they claim is his "father's" morals and teachings, without ever letting him see this "father." This "father" is completely absent from his life and he is merely told that he exists and that he must merely believe them because they claim it so. They provide journals and diaries supposedly written by this father, even though this father never makes mention of this stolen son, saying it MUST be him, because, hey, it's nobody else's handwriting, right? Take in mind, the son is never allowed to compare the handwriting of the members, he is just told that their handwriting styles are all different.

Eventually, the son gets sick of being told that this father figure loves him and cherishes him, because he has never seen a single shred of any kind of convincing evidence that he exists. Outside elements (people, personal observations, or maybe not outside; maybe it's his own deductive reasoning) finally show him just how unlikely it is that this father even exists; the people who abducted him are little more than cultists, trying to add more members to their group to accrue power and prestige and prominence.

He decides to leave. The threats of the "father's" retribution for doing so are at his back, but so, too, are the promises that if he comes back, he will be loved again. He looks upon the world outside the walls he has been forced to remain behind, and marvels at its trials, tribulations, beauty, cruelty, and unabashed honesty, and he realizes he has finally found his TRUE home; the world all about him.

This is the ACTUAL analogy, from the perspective of anyone who actually sees through the bullshit that Christians like you propagate. There is no "father." Those who were brought up in the Christian "family" were stolen from the real world and forced behind closed, gray walls and fed lies to keep them in line for the purpose of keeping a bunch of self-deluding liars thinking they have relevance while the world around them advances and continues on without their claims.

It's just sometimes, some of us realize that a father we are only told of and never shown in any context whatsoever and provided the most feeble semblances of "proof" of is a not a father who exists at all; he is just a shadowy element, a bogeyman created to keep us in line and within the kidnappers' views of what should be without any kind of valid backing whatsoever.
