The prodigal son learned a hard lesson. He wasted his wealth,
just as you have wasted your time using such a poor example.
Not everyone shunning God is a prodigal son. Some actually do not
want what you seek.

So your monster of a God is going to be abusive to me for
telling the truth about his religion.
Says who exactly, you? That is funny. The bible was written by men
in an altered state of mind. God did not put his hand to any of it,
man did.

have done so many times before just say "I don't have to"?
