"You don't have to hug grandma": Why consent is an anti-entitlement Christian value

Many parents quietly oppose the concept of consent. Consent is a core tenet of the children's rights belief system. However, many parents are going the other way, and not teaching consent to their child. Most parents think that teaching children consent is a violation of their Christian faith, usually while sexualizing the concept of consent.

What is consent in the biblical tense? The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Any imposed want is what is called deadly entitlement. It is not good to want anything in life, but since we all want things as depraved and decadent human beings, we should ask politely and appropriately. Want imposed is what sends the sinner to Hell for all eternity. Want imposed is also how we understand consent violations.

Want imposed is the very definition of deadly entitlement, and also the very understanding of a consent violation. When you impose your wants on someone else, you aren't taking into account their wishes. Shaming a child who refuses to hug you at a family function is entitlement. Why is it entitlement? Because you are imposing a situation onto a child, and are making them do something they don't want to do, in a way that only serves the self-interest of the adult.  

Over Christmastime, sometimes attachment parents encounter pushy relatives who insist that children hug and kiss extended family members, such as grandparents, aunts/uncles, and so forth. Some children are more sensitive than others about being touched, either due to trauma, autism, or both. It is not good for any person to impose what they want onto someone else. It is especially crucial that the bigger person not impose their wants onto the smaller person. 

So grandma wants a hug? Why is she entitled to affection from a child? We as adults are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of absolutely nothing from children. I am not to even want anything from a child. I don't deserve affection from children in the family, and any affection that I do receive from a child, I must be grateful for, as I don't deserve it. I am a depraved and decadent wretch as the adult that I am, and deserve nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. That means asking for a child relative to hug me is a haughty thing to ask.

The parent entitled parents who provoke children to anger by imposing wants on them against their consent 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!
