You may not see yourself as at emnity with God - given you do not believe he exists. That doesn't matter very much. What matters is how he considers you.

you should hear what Binky, my imaginary friend, thinks of you. Not much I tell you!
​
What's that I hear you say? It doesn't matter an iota to you what my imaginary friend thinks of you ?

Well, ditto.

Re: Childsplay
I'm afraid your parent/child analogy falls at the first hurdle :
​
quote:
"Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil" (Genesis 3:22)
​
Unlike a child, we can tell when our father does evil and we can call him on it. There's no "father knows best" in this case!
