user did you eat all the cookies? You're grounded.
>Some justice we have here! If you had any sense as a parent you would not have left me alone with the cookies in the first place. Why punish me for something you should have known in advance would happen and did nothing to prevent? How do I know you have any real authority at all? I demand to see a DNA test.
Your father won't be happy about this when he gets home.
>Why should I believe that, when you said he would arrive in the afternoon, when it is now clearly evening? I have just as much evidence as you to say he will never return again. And how do you know he doesn't want me to eat all the cookies? If he is truly a loving father then he would give me as many cookies as I desire.
It's okay user you'll have cookies again someday. We'll always love you.
>I never asked to be born into such a cruel and meaningless home.

A loving father would want me to have infinite cookies though.
Sound like Christian logic, lol
Why would you think that?
It's pretty clear that this is a veiled allegory for religion, no? Cookies = temptation. What type of good parent (god) would just lay the cookies (temptation) out, knowing full well that the kid (humans) would take the bait?
And isn't it unfair for the parent (god) to punish the child (humans) for just doing something that the parent (god) knew would happen?
And when "Father" (Jesus, Allah, or whatever) gets home (when? Who knows?), there will be a Holy Reckoning where the good faithful kids (humans) will be exalted and the bad kids will be punished?
Seems really, really clear to me
I don't see it...but are you defending the child here?
No, there's no defending or laying blame here. All I'm pointing out is that the narrative matches almost exactly to the way that religions regulate (or maybe control) their followers.
Oh and also the quote about giving cookies "someday" is obviously a parallel to promising a heaven of some sort in the afterlife.
I'm surprised you're not seeing the similarities here.
That a hot high school level opinion that nobody in the world has ever had before you.
Have you thought of starting a blog?
So the child is right to attack his parents for more the sake of cookies, I agree. While surficially he is a petulant spoiled brat, he has superior logic over his parents and has attained a level of euphoria we can only hope to have.
