Fair point—and you’re right, for many people, that is the actual structure of their religion. When I called it parody, I didn’t mean it was purely fictional—I meant your description boiled it down in a way that highlights how absurd or troubling it sounds when stripped of tradition, mystique, or reverence.

Sometimes parody just reveals the raw logic beneath belief. And yeah, when you put it like that, it does force us to ask: if this really is the system we’re told is divinely perfect… why does it resemble the worst parts of human power structures?
