Pro-social self-loathing: Why to avoid parental entitlement

Many parents think that they have rights just for being parents. Parental rights is an ideology based on a concept of false "rights", which, in turn, is based on parental entitlement. Most parents want things from their children. But, are parents deserving of things from their children? The answer is no, for we are all sinners, and parents are sinners as well.

Children's rights can exist in the conservative Christian context. However, we as conservatives will never accept children's rights as any less than an anti-entitlement theology. Parental entitlement is the core of all evil and abuse against children, and thus, if every adult avoided parental entitlement, child abuse would cease to exist. Parental entitlement is the lowest of all entitlements, and if you endorse it, you are immediately condemned to the second death. Parental rights is hinged on parental entitlement, and without parental entitlement, parental rights would have formed as an ideology.

It says in Romans 3:9-12 KJV:

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

This passage was originally written by the Apostle Paul to Roman Christians in the 1st Century. The Roman Christians were becoming too prideful in their practice of Christianity, thinking they were the righteous ones just because they are Christians. Paul was convicting the Roman Christians of their original sin. Today, this passage is a testament to how God feels about humanity. God hates us all, so much that He does not want us to even exist in His midst. By default, all mankind is marked for deletion. Only a few human beings will be saved from the fire of Hell. The rest will forever be condemned to the second death, which is the Hell of fire and brimstone, being tormented in the fire of everlasting punishment forever and ever. God hates us all especially for the one-sided incursions on child-kind from adult-kind. We all, as adults, are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of absolutely nothing from children.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement, including parental entitlement, in the New Testament, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, this word refers to wanting things from children, period. It is not good to want anything in life, including from children, but since we all want something from children as depraved and decadent adults, ask politely and appropriately, and accept when your child won't or can't do something. Want is at the core of our sin nature, and wants from children are at the core of our wants as depraved and decadent human beings. There is no legitimate reason to want anything from a child, as adults are there as tools for children to use for their own benefit, not the reverse of that equation.

It is not good to think that you are a good parent or a good adult around children. When you think you are good around children, you start to demand that things go your way, and that children act the way you want them to act. I am not a good person, and I am not a good adult to be around children, and I don't pretend to be. I am a depraved and decadent sinner for being the adult that I am, and am deserving of absolutely nothing from children or anyone else. I am not even deserving of respect. I am not even deserving of forgiveness. I am definitely grateful for the forgiveness my child victims have given me, and the clemency they have afforded me, as I deserve none of it. I myself am guilty of sexually pestering and harassing girls as young as 9 at a public swimming area, as well as elsewhere here in my city of Reading, Pennsylvania. I am grateful for the fact that my victims are forgiving to the degree that they are, and ask nothing else from them. It is not good to go around thinking you are a good parent or adult towards children, as that leads to a sense of entitlement where you expect children to behave the way you want them to behave, when children are going to do what they want anyway.

The parent entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
