There isn't only a 'Mr. God'. There's a 'Mrs God' as well and we are all their literal children.

See I was brought up Catholic and the issue of God was just that, an issue for me.
I don't believe there is a Mr and a Mrs. I struggle to believe in God being any sort of physical being at all, but acutally one that is just used as a metaphor for a spiritual power and most definitely genderless.
For me, God = judgement. And most people don't fear the power of God 'Himself' but actually fear the judgement after death, because nobody really wants to be a bad person. Everyone does what they think is right, regardless of the law. This is why we get groups who rebel against the law but after the revolutions they cause we actually come to accept what they were saying as morally right.
That's what I think anyway. But then I also think that what matters most is that you believe in what makes you ultimately live in the best and happiest way possible, so for me all religion is acceptable even if it isn't what necessarily makes me happiest.
