I don't understand why God is so often compared to someone's parent when the issue of free will is discussed. You always tell me that God didn't want little robots and that is why Adam and Eve had a choice whether to eat the fruit or not. So, like a human, God apparently needs people to love him, not just follow him because they were programmed to do so, correct?
Why is it that in some instances it is perfectly fine to compare God to humans, but in others it isn't? For instance, when I ask you how God manages to pull off omnipotence (which is contradictory all by itself), the general answer I get is that God is not to be understood by humans. So doesn't that totally invalidate any argument comparing him to a human?
Your thoughts?
