There is no free will in religion. And bad parents usually have kids that do drugs.

No He is the Father who is like the father who disciplines the child when little and tell the child about the dangers of doing wrong. He is the father who works hard and provides the child with every opportunity to learn both good and bad and who guides the child to do the right thing with discipline and restraint. He is the father who knows that only letting go can make the child see that the father was right because mistakes as adults always cause more pain than as children. He is the Father who has and will step in front of the bullet meant to take the life of His precious child. He is the Father who knows that a free will makes it possible for the child to realize the need for a Father and makes it possible to return the love to the Father so that the home of the Father can one day be enjoyed by the child.

The difference between God and the parent in your scenario is that God does not just stand idly by watching and not saying a word. Through His Word, the Bible, He has made clear what He expects from us and what the consequences are for disregarding His rules.
This is what God has revealed to us about His character: That He is "...slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished." -Numbers 14:18
To learn more about how God behaves as a Father, read the parable of the Prodigal Son: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2015:11-32;&version=31;

Nope... I have the choice and the free will to love God. And I do love God because He loves me. He has said a "word" in the Bible, which is the Word. Just like your parents give you rules to live by, so does God. But we, just like children choose to rebel and not follow those rules. All have sinned and fall short to the glory of God... that is why He sent His Son for us. See John 3:16.

as far as I can tell the only reason God would condemn a person to hell is because they did not accept God for who He is. God will not condemn a person to hell for doing drugs nor for being the kind of parent who would throw their child out of the house. God allows us to have free choice concerning our behavior (whether drug use or bad parenting etc. ) Love cannot exist where there is no free choice. And God is Love.

Where you have it wrong is that God doesn't call everyone his children. His children are those that accept his Son. He said that. His Son said that.
If you read the fourth chapter of Galatians, you would see that Paul wrote about that. Here, I'll give you some of that:
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
It's through Jesus that we obtain that special adoption.

If your in your parents house and your showing no respect, you probably deserve to get kicked out. There showing you love by supporting you and you rebel against them,That's a wake up call.
All God is asking for is that you believe and accept his Son after he loved you enough to send his Son to die for you. He is giving you Free will to chose to love him.
If you owned a house and had only one child and he gave his life for your family how would you feel about someone living in your home that bad mouthed your son.(Ya you would most likely tell them to get out because it would hurt that doesn't mean you still don't care for the person you kicked out but you have enough love for your son you won't tolerate someone in your house kicking him down.) You just gave them a choice (Free will) if there going to live there just show respect and love your son because he laid his life down for them.

God cannot communicate directly with sinners because their spirits are not alive to God. So God uses His people, the Christians, to communicate with sinners to help and turn them around from their difficulties and problems to safety and salvation. But sinners do not believe that God exists, how can He help them if they do not exercise their free will to believe in Him? Those who do not believe in God are not His children. So what is your point?

Have you read the bible? It tells you what is permissible and what is not. If you had a child and you told that child that the stove was hot and they touched it anyway and got burned. I bet they would not touch it again. of course you wouldn't just let them touch it but stuff happens. We learn from our mistakes. God created us to have free will because he wanted us to chose to love him. Not be made to. If you had the choice to create a child or a puppet which would you choose?

I ask this all the time, but again, why do you think that God, would think and do as we humans would expect or want him too? And as far as not saying a word about it, he has said plenty about it.
