Why God hates religious entitlement in parents

 Many parents punish their children, meaning most in the United States. Most parents in the United States, including Millennial parents, are religious in their upbringing of children, to some degree or another. Religious entitlement is not simply a secular issue that atheists bring up. It is a true moral crime, particularly when it leads to abuse in the family home.

The Tenth Commandment prohibits coveting, meaning unlawful want. The Greek root word in the New Testament that repeats the Tenth Commandment of "thou shalt not covet" is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers here to religious entitlement, meaning the entitled attitude of "I am the parent, and I have the right for my child to believe whatever I believe" leading to wanting children to conform to a certain ideology or belief system, enough to seek to impose said want onto a child, leading to abuse by way of offense taken. 

It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with the, and thou mayest live upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, but for the parent, not the child directly, but the child indirectly by way of self-control and discipline enforced on the parent by the parent, in a way that listens to the emotions and upset of a child, in a way that reassures and validates big emotions. It is also a form of self-control that models Judaeo-Christian family values, in a way that is taught through the atmosphere. It also refers to religious instruction within this environment based on positive, loving encouragement from fathers, based on asking questions, meaning Socratic reasoning. That was the method children were taught Christian morals, meaning adults talked a lot about God around the child, in a way that was intended to be a shout out to the child to chime in and ask questions about God and Jesus, at a level they'd understand, moving further ahead, with the harsh facts of life that is Hell and damnation saved for last, but with the message "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you're good". Socratic reasoning is meeting a question with a question, meaning when the child asks a question, say "you can look it up in X place, and we'll talk about what you found later, because I've always been taught that the answer is Y" and then leading to encouraging discussion between parents and children on religion. It is a repeated talk about God and the Bible, with children being taught about the legal context of the Bible. Usually, though, it is the example of Christ passed down through the atmosphere, with parents rarely correcting their children, with the Greek root word translated "admonition" being νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the admonition of the Lord, meaning the rare verbal correction using the word "no", and otherwise leaving children "misbehave" in a developmentally appropriate way, having a bond with them that invites them to want to emulate ALL of your traits as a parent, including religious beliefs, at least once they get old. The admonition of the Lord is reserved for things that post a risk of bodily harm or death, are clearly immoral, or else are unattainable, perhaps an ambitious 8-year-old asking for a plane, with the tears that follow being met by reassurance, which chastens up the parent even further, and the child as well. Most things, when children don't listen, should be let go anyway, since children literally doesn't get why they are being told "no", and people always do things for a reason, and children are people too, so you just let them and supervise for safety's sake, knowing the limit set will bounce when they are older, having faith in one's child in that regard. This is weighed by the Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" which is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to the offenses in the legal context of the Bible, meaning the torts and damages imposed by the Eighth Commandment, including the assault and battery laws that extend to children in terms of protection. The slightest of offense perceived by a child, based on the entitled behavior or attitudes of adults, is child abuse, and that includes things such as any punishment or control in the name of "God" or religion in general, using any holy book of any faith to justify said religious child abuse.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to providing custody under Christian law, meaning also duty to instruct in the faith, passing down God's Law, and refers to the safe, secure bond between parent and child where the parent is merely a caregiver and servant to the child, not an authority figure, with providing custody being a ward to one's parents, being able to tell them anything, confide into them anything, with parents listening reflectively and intently, including questions about God, Jesus, and the Bible, with parents saying "you can ask me anything about the Bible, and I'm here to answer" and then do research, and/or have them do their own research, doing their own fact-finding missions in the text.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! They will instead be cast forever in the lake of fire and brimstone, forever descending into darkness, suffering the second death which is designed for Satan and his accomplices! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
