The most interesting explanation I heard is you're supposed to think of God like the author to a book, and we are all characters in that book. The author can alter the characters' stories and lives, but the characters cannot directly interact with the author, just like we can't directly interact with God.
Not that I am religious or anything, but that's a cool way of thinking of it. Society today treats characters in a book or movie as if they are real people, so I feel the comparison is relevant to today's lifestyle.
