How would you describe me as a parent if I never show up, never call, never pay child support and say everything is my children's fault?

Update:

I also think my children should unquestioningly obey me and worship me every Sunday.

    Wait... this reminds me of something.

    I think people think it's alright if you leave the children a book of contradictory rules and stories.

    Did you leave detailed instructions as to why you are doing this, expressing your unending love for the child, how the child should behave and a promise to support the child and return to the child? Did you also leave details about who you are as a parent, the things you have done and the things you are doing now - such things that endear the child to you even more? Did you leave details on how the child should properly behave and the things the child should avoid in life so as not to get themselves in avoidable problems? Then I would describe you as a good parent.

    If you didn't at least do the above things, then I would describe you as a bad parent.

    Begs the question fallacy, straw man fallacy. A twofer!

    1. Humans are not God's children, they are God's creation.

    2. Only those who have entered into a Covenant relationship with God are entitled to maintain expectations of God. - but only those expectations stipulated in the Covenant! That, by the way, would include blessings for keeping the covenant and curses for breaking the covenant.

    3. Jesus speaking to the Jews as speaking to those in a Covenant relationship with God, so the heavenly father metaphor applied. As an atheist you are not in a Covenant relationship with God and so can carry no legitimate expectations of God other than judgment.

    This is the dumbest question I have ever seen in r&s...

    God is always with me.

    God speaks to me telepathically.

    God gives me whatever I ask Him for.

    We are suppose to obey our parents so I have no problem obeying God. God rewards obedience. God is wise. Why question Him?

    God has never, not once, made me worship Him every Sunday. Lol! We are suppose to worship Him everyday, not just Sundays.

    I love my Abba. You're stupid, dear.

    a Good parent Like GOD, leads us, feeds us, provides for us, teaches us, hears us and answers us.....and does so daily...like the Bible says......if you Dishonor your Parents you shorten your life...seems to me by your failure to listen and obey and do what your Parent stats..seems your life is going to be very short and not so pleasant.
