As a parent

There is nothing ( including being embarrased of or denying me) that my children could do to make me want to see them suffer or in some way pay for my pain from their actions. If this is true about all human parents then how can any human believe in a god whos's love is below the human parental standards of love? Who has the higher moral standard humans or the biblical god? Also as a parent should you ever wish your child to be subjective to you forever or would you wish your child to surpass you. Would you so fear for the survival of your child without you that you would encourage and or demand that that child learn and experience life for itself or would you insist that your child live under your watchful eye forever and die with you. This is no different than a supposed heavenly father. If one such being exist it would perfere you to risk all seaking a better or at least experienced life. This heavenly father would not care if you did not love him back he would only are that you loved and enjoyed your life.
Even being there felt that I do not understand how people can worship and pray for this imagionary father to come and destroy the life that they have and know. I do not understand why this life is so unloved. Why is it so bad to feel pain and death. Why is beauty only labeled to what is pleasing. Without death and pain life cannot exist or grow these should be loved for that if nothing else.
