Some portray God as a tyrant taking away from people all the kosher activities they enjoy. They turn Him into a punisher, a kind of rogue policeman who wants you to break the law so that he can pounce. Then they wonder why you struggle to put your faith in Him after they have turned him into an enemy. That becomes a source of guilt too.
We live in such pathological times. Some beat up others with sticks, others with ersatz religion.
Rather, He does not take away from you the many kosher activities you enjoy. Rather, He created them in the first place just for your enjoyment. Rather, He does not want to punish and gives us enormous amounts of time to improve ourselves, to become the people that we want to be anyway. You can put your faith in Him because He is not the he some try to make Him out to be.
