Just like children leave their parents and live their own life separate from their parents when they grow up, we should also stop sticking to god and accepting his morals. We're all grown up, and not kids anymore. He has no more right over us.
He has no right to hang on to us, and keep telling us what to do. If he thinks I'm sinning, then that's his issue. If he sends us to hell, it's only because he has the strength to do so. Paranoid and vindictive.

Is anyone going to give a relevant answer, or is slander all you have?

Of course I don't believe in god. I'm just totally psyched as to how anyone can enjoy following such a concept.

That's how religion gets it's hooks in you. it says that you owe God something and you make the payments through them with worship and money.

Well if you feel you don't need God anymore now that you are a big adult, try living without morals such as God's. If you go out a kill another human being that is a homicide, the law of the land won't allow you to do that. So yeah that's a moral from God, but also of man.
He doesn't "hang on to us" we hang on to Him because we choose to. Sin is sin, no matter how you look at it. All will be judged at the end, believers and non-believers. Whether you believe it or not.
Paranoid and vindictive are both symptoms of living in darkness, satans' realm. God is in the light and is the light and is the only way to eternal life.
So go out and try living without the blessings of God one day and see how far you get. First off, you won't be able to step out your front door because you will not have the breathe of life in you.
Perhaps you have had a bad experience with a church or a christian, but don't judge the whole book by the acts of a few.
God gives us many second chances, why don't you give Him just one...

If you accept the premise of a God that created you, and you want to apply the parental analogy, then I think that you could reasonably guess that God would have a system of consequences just like a parent would. You could equate it to being "cut out of the will" if you don't live a virtuous life.
Personally, I think that an all-powerful being doesn't exist, but if one did, it would be supremely bored by the minutae of our puny existence - which amounts the equivalent of you being concerned about the bacteria under a single grain of sand in a million miles of beach.
I think it's a good idea to be the kindest person you can be, whether there's a super-being watching or not; because you'll make the world a better place and we'll all appreciate you for it!

I see your parents did a good job of raising you! You didn't ask to be born, etc. Sounds like something a teenager says to his parents when he is being a rebellious brat. I would hope that you feel some oblation to your parents and have some respect for them. If you feel none for them, then it seems rather hopeless that you will ever appreciate the joy of life and the world around you and be thankful to the one who created it and you.
God does not hang on to you and tells you what to do. He does not interfere in your life unless you ask him too. Some day you will wish that He did not ignore you quite so much. When you are older and maybe wiser, you will understand.

The only thing that God created for you is your Soul.You could have been one of the souls tht were created but resisted entering Earthly life by staying on the other side and becoming one of the Angels instead.
But your here accept it and live by the owners rules.As your parents made you live by their rules in their house while you were growing up.
The Creator is a part of you and you are a part of the Creator.

You do not owe God anything.
Just like children leave their parents and live their own life SEPARATE from their parents when they grow up.
Separate and apart but having DNA of your parents. Can you escape your DNA ? Morality is for well being of society.
God does not sends you to hell.
You shouldn't either.

Leave then. It's your choice. Whatever you're saying about "He has no right to hang on to us" and "He has no more right over us" is crap. You don't have the right to ask Him for help if you needed it (or even if you didn't ask for it) but He gives it anyway. You didn't need to ask to be alive every day, but He's still kept you alive so far. You don't "owe" God anything. He's just offering you His hand to help you go through life, and it's your choice to accept it. He's like a counselor that will tell you what to do or what not to do because he already knows the consequences of whatever you do. Go ahead and do whatever you want, but be prepared for the consequences. It's not only God's issue. It's yours.

Yes here is a relative answer' First you are in a state of rebellion against God,(and rebellion is as witchcraft) because of this witchcraft you are bewitched or under a spell so that you can not except God,Why? John 1 tells us that the darkness hates the light, come into the light! The created should not question the creators reasons for creating the created! If your cars running on 2 cylinders because it wants to and don't care that it was designed for all 8 to run smoothly, then the design is flawed and not doing its purpose it was designed for, so it goes to the junk yard, and so it is with us, if you want to got to hell have a nice trip, but don't blame God for it, he designed you to run on 8 cylinders but you want to run on 2. running on 8 , doing the purpose it was designed for ,gets you into heaven, and rebellion gets you into hell! its your choice.

God didn't create you, he created Adam and Eve. Your parents created you. As for God, you have the free will to follow or not follow his teachings, just as the Angels did. Just don't expect to receive the same reward as those who do follow him. If your goal is to live your life now and to hell with later, than do so, that is your choice.

Your understanding of these matters appears to be a bit twisted.
Because God created you and gave you life, you owe him exactly what he requires from you. No more. No less.
God owes you nothing.
Because of the mistakes of your forefather Adam, you're already doomed to hell.
The only way to avoid it is to accept God's invitation for salvation.
Consider yourself invited.

Much simpler (and at least as logically valid) to simply assume that god doesn't exist and get on with your life. There is no proof of it anyway, and it follows that the concept is useless: it can affect nothing in real life.
