This is a frequent charge of atheists, but I don't see where they get it. In Eden, A&E aren't shown to be groveling. In the law, there were a few festivals during the year - hardly constant groveling. Most Christians today go to church for about an hour a week, if that. Where is this constant groveling?
Nowhere, in practice, but the fact that no Christian bothers putting forth even a fraction of the effort demanded by God, that demand still exists.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
This is, in fact, referred to as the 'most important' commandment, above all others. But, you all half-ass that, at best, because you're too concerned about the utterly selfish concerns of being rewarded with mansions in heaven and life everlasting. God doesn't come across as someone who is impressed with the mere lip service virtually every one of his followers offer, and that's one reason why none of you are going to heaven any more than I am.
