In the parable, there was another son who never left. Does he work into your metaphor somehow?God doesn't force christianity upon us. He wants us to consciously follow christianity. that's why Jesus said the parable of the prodigal son. I see the prodigal son as a born-again christian whom God wholeheartedly accepts.
Apart from the, you know, hell thing.God doesn't force christianity upon us.

hell isn't for punishment. it's a state of being away from God.Apart from the, you know, hell thing.
A truly loving god would base people on their actions not their beliefs.hell isn't for punishment. it's a state of being away from God.
Exactly. the christian way is based on actions. people think that by only believing they are saved, but that's deceitful. for example, God commanded we shall not steal. someone believes in God, goes to church but he steals. so he doesn't follow the christian way. someone else doesn't believe in God, he never goes to church and he never steals. the last one follows God's command, so he follows the christian way. actions speak louder than words. unfortunately people ''follow'' God's will by thinking alone, that's wrong.A truly loving god would base people on their actions not their beliefs.

That is some nonsense, you have written there.I see Christianity as being the religion for the worst of the worst. So damned by their own actions and thought that their only way to God is by proxy.
Christian couldn't manage that so Jesus came to take upon himself God's wrath so they still might have access to God.
The other son was already with God. Already had access to God. Christianity is for those who left God and have no hope of finding their way back on their own.
For some reason, many Christians think other folks are in the same boat as they. Everyone else is as irredeemable as themselves.
