I once knew a woman who's boyfriend was abusing her. I mean serious mental and physical abuse. I asked here why she didn't leave him. She said, "Because he loves me. And I'm also afraid of what he might do to me if I leave."
That is pretty much the relationship Christianity sets up between God and Man.
Fortunately, there is Good News. God doesn't really exist and you can just stop believing and that abusive relationship with your imaginary monster in the sky. I was raised to believe, but when I got older I put away such childish beliefs and have never been happier.
