I would actually consider this to be potentially true. The enemy has no power that we humans don't give him. While it is comfortable for me to believe in a spiritual war, (and Biblical) and while I have asked those of a more rational mind to consider the possibility that one actually exists, it is only fair in the name of mutual respect for me to consider the possibility that there really is no devil and that there really is no need to worship the word for word literalism of the Holy Bible.
So, you fully admit that these Gods and goblins are all in your head, yet continue to worship them for the shits and giggles?
Of course not. What I am suggesting is that God foreknew that humans would never grow up so much that they outgrew their need of Him. I am because He Is.
So many people grow up and no longer depend on their parents for everything. Perhaps that cycle of life was put there by God to let you know that you need to eventually break free from the dependence.
I know that I am a spoiled child in regards to my relationship with God. Human kids are expected to grow up so as to not need their parents. I do not believe that we are expected to grow up and not need communion in a practical non ritualistic sense, however. Communion is more than some church ritual or symbol. Communion is the daily reality of conversation with God and prayer. IMB we all could partake in it a bit more often.
What part of praying and having a conversation requires that you rely on God for everything, and expect the poor ol' Fella to bail you out every damn time you go under? Don't you think it would be better to walk
with God into Heaven; not cling to his leg as He drags you across the floor?
