If, as you say, "There are no wrong ways" then why would anyone want to spend $20 to read your book? I just can't see it, because if there are no wrong ways how can there be a right way? You don't want to posit any sort of absolute truth in which a person must base their beliefs on, which nullifies any validity to your claim of having anything true to say. If there is no truth how can you be true?
If a person's belief system leads them to feel that they must beat all writers and musicians to a bloody pulp on all Tuesdays, would you still be as quick to grant them a level of moral authority and sanction under the "God is so loving that he doesn't care what you believe" theory?
Furthermore, your God is, at best, a made up God. As such how can your God have any meaning or validity? Your God isn't the God of any major religion or faith. It's not the God of the Bible, the Rig Vidas, the Koran, the Talmud, or any major text. So if you're going to make up a God, why not at least make up a God that can stand up to five or six minutes of deductive reasoning? In fact, why even use the word God? Why not say that Steve is so loving that he doesn't care what you believe. Why not say that your cat is so loving that she doesn't care what you believe.
The one thing I can't really figure out is why did you even waste your time writing a book? I guess maybe to try and make some money. But at the very least you could have been a bit more creative and written past postmodernistic moral relativism which, while popular in the general uneducated public, can't stand up to any significant scrutiny.
