We are the creation of the father of all spirits as Enoch proclaimed his name.
God is not a father, uncle, brother, nephew, cousin or any kind of human relation. He is High Exalted above that. As sister BeTheChange already stated, God is the Creator, and we are His creation. We are not His children.
No, God is separate from his creation, and is above the heavens. He has knowledge of everything at all times, but He is not things, in things, nor everything, nor everywhere. This is how the people start mixing up the Creator with His creation.
As I mentioned, God is not a father, nor has any children. He is not like a human. He is high exalted above us in any way.
There is only One God. He alone should be worshipped. He is our Creator, Sustainer, and Lord.
He does not beget, nor is He begotten. He has no sons, daughters, spouses, siblings, parents, cousins, or relatives of any sort.
He is eternal and does not die. He does not depend on anyone/anything yet we all depend on Him. He is free of all want and need.
There is nothing like Him. He is all Hearing, all Seeing, all Knowing, all Powerful, Incomparable, the Creator of the Universe.
He did not/does not, become flesh, dwell in human or animal bodies, nor are there any incarnations of Him. He is not mixed up in His creation in any way.
He is not composed of persons, nor a trinity. There are no secondary, lesser, greater, equal, or multiple gods, nor any intermediaries. And no denying of God's existence either.
There are no sharers, associates, persons or parts whatsoever in His exclusive Divinity. Simply, He is One, in every sense.
As you can see, the concept is clear, simple, logical, makes sense, and befits the Majesty of God.
all he wants for us is to have faith and love in him, and show servitude, Love,Temperance, and faith in all his creation, there is no true religion on the earth other than the pieces that Islam,Christian,and Judism have
Islam is the true religion. It is what all the messengers preached. Allah sent all the prophets (including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, peace on them all) with the same message and not different messages. The message was:
to submit wholeheartedly to Allah and worship Him and Him alone, without any associates in, or parts to, His Exclusive Divinity, and to obey the prophet. They taught that people should be under no misperception that they can commit themselves to Allah as their Lord, and then combine this with accepting others as their Lord, or associating others in His Divinity, in whatever way. They taught that we should strive hard to translate our belief in the One True God into practice, by obeying Allah and the messengers He sent, who were also role models and examples for us, showing us practically how to put the guidance they were sent with into practice in our daily lives, explaining the scriptures, warning against wrong-doing, giving good tidings, and giving additional legislation from Allah.
So Islam is not a new faith, but is the same ultimate universal truth that God revealed to all the prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be on them), and the same thing they all taught. Thus Islam is not named after a specific person (like Christianity, Buddhism), nor after a certain race or place (like Judaism, Hinduism), but is named by God Himself, the meaning loosely translating as 'submission to God', which is what every Prophet and their righteous followers did, from amongst all times, places and peoples. That in itself is one fraction of the evidence that it was the way of all the Prophets from the beginning.
With time, the message got forgotten or corrupted. So people started worshipping other gods along with Him, made idols, said that God begot a son, said that certain people were incarnations of God, some rejected belief in God altogether, while others elevated the status of some prophets to divine, or at the other end, rejected or blasphemed some of the prophets. Whenever God's message got distorted by people, or forgotten, a new messenger was sent, not with any new or changed message, but reinforcing the actual message that God sent all the messengers with, the actual core beliefs that people were taught from the beginning of humanity, confirming the true parts of previous teachings and scriptures, and correcting wrong beliefs and misconceptions that had crept in. God required that whenever He sent a new messenger, that messenger should be followed along with any new scripture given to him. This chain of messengers culminates in prophet Muhammad (peace on him), who is the last and final prophet and messenger. Since his prophethood, God's message is available unchanged and unadulterated, for the entire world, until the end of time. He wasn't sent as prophet and messenger for a specific group of people and specific time (e.g. as Moses and Jesus were to the Children of Israel), but he was sent for all the world, for all time, until the Day of Judgement. Thus he is the last, not first, prophet of Islam; a messenger to all mankind, for now, and for all time to come. He is the messenger who must now be followed.
does not want us to be burdened by tradition, but to be free of Hatered And Fear.
We must obey God and the messengers he sent, the messenger for now being Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). This is not a burden. We should love God, but also fear Him, and obey Him.
the only one that had the flawless and noble position to show how god is, is Jesus the Anointed one of god.
We do not distinguish and make distinction between the messengers of God. We accept them all, and do not reject any of them, nor dishonour them, nor at the other end, turn them into gods. They were the purest and noblest of humanity.
In Islam, we do not believe in airy fairy things that seem nice to us or what we personally desire, but our faith is based on solid, untampered, preserved evidence from God Himself, in His own words, as to how He wants us to live and worship Him. And we invite you to that same truth, that Noah followed and preached, as did Abraham, and Jesus, and Moses, and Muhammad, peace be on them all
Translations of some verses of the Qur'an to finish:
O mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - (Translation of the Qur'an 2:21) "Indeed, I am Allah. There is no God but I, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance." (20:14)
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (51:56)
"... And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve." (2:38 part)
"Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path." (Spoken by Jesus. 3:51 , 19:36 and 43:64)
And say, "Praise be to Allah, who has no son and no partner in His Dominion..." (17:111 part)
...There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book, by which Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the ways of peace, and brings them out from darkness into the light, by His will, and guides them to a straight path. (5:15, part, and 5:16)
Verily, this Qur'an guides to that which is Straightmost, and gives glad tidings to the believers who do good.. (17:9, part)
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." Say, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers. (3:31-32)
Say: "We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and to [all] the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one and another of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)." And whosoever seeks as religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and he shall be in the hereafter, among the losers.(3:84, 85)
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam... (3:19, part)
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from He] to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and earth. There is no god except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered Prophet,who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided. (7:158, part) ... Believe in Allah, His Messenger and the Book that He has revealed to His Messenger and the Scripture which He revealed before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah , His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray. (4:136, part)
Worship Allah exclusively, and do not associate others in His Divinity.. (4:36, part)
Nothing is said to you, [O Muhammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is owner of forgiveness and owner of grievous chastisement. (41:43)
O Mankind! Call to mind the grace of Allah upon you! Is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are you turning away? (35:3)
O Mankind! It is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah is Free of wants, worthy of all praise. (35:15)
O Mankind! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. So let not this present life deceive you.. (35:5, part)
This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is only One God, and that those of understanding may take heed.(14:52)
Say, "O mankind, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is only guided for [the good of] his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray to the detriment of it.." (10:108 part)
And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be treated unjustly. (2:281)
As sister nbegam has already explained to you, you need to come to this truth, and obey God as He wants to be obeyed, not how you personally think He should be obeyed, and follow His last Messenger, so that you may be rightly guided.
People are encouraged to ponder and reflect, and re-evaluate and reassess the basis for your own beliefs and doctrines. And it is that to which all people are invited by the Qur'an. Your beliefs regarding God, and which faith you follow, are the biggest, most serious and most important decisions you will ever make, as this life will end one day for all of us, and our position regarding God and His messengers is what makes or breaks our hereafter, which is forever. You owe it to yourself, to not regret in the hereafter, when it'll be too late. Do not view Islam by media portrayals, nor by the actions of some Muslims, but by its message. Study it from its authentic sources and speak to sincere knowledgeable Muslims. We tend to be busy in our lives, but please make the time for it. It'll be the most important thing you ever do.
Peace.
You're an interesting agnostic, with equally interesting views - some of which I have issues with, namely the following:
