Jesus had a big fight with his Dad upon returning to Heaven. The
argument could have happened like this...
Jesus: "Hey dad, you could have stopped my pain and crush the Romans
like roaches!"
God: "Well, we needed to prove the point that you died for humanity's
sin."
Jesus: "Who cares, you are the boss anyway!"
God: "Not exactly, but yes I'm in charge. You are my puppet, so to
speak."
Jesus: "You know what. I give a fuck about humanity and all your
grandiose plans."
And Jesus went to another galaxy far away from his father, where he
went to breed mice.

Actually I think God should have played with mice before creating
humanity!
'World as Laboratory: Experiments with Mice, Mazes, and Men' by
Rebecca Lemov
Lemov explores the behavioral sciences during the years 1900-60, after
which much of the human experimentation previously conducted acquired
an odious reputation; the author remarks she was predisposed to
dislike the psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists who
conducted it. Lemov improved her opinion of them, but her well-
researched book nevertheless imparts a sense of uneasiness about human
engineering. An outgrowth of stimulus-response experiments on animals,
behavior modification of people became the goal of ambitious
psychologists such as John Watson, coiner of the conditioned-response
theory. Tellingly, he eventually went into advertising, while in his
wake in the 1920s, foundations directed by behaviorist enthusiasts
funded behavioral science centers at Yale and Harvard. With World War
II, Lemov remarks, their denizens traded lab coats for uniforms,
applying behavioral theories to occupied areas. A balanced account of
the behaviorists' crusade, Lemov's history provides crucial backstory
to contemporary practices in psychology and mass media.

THE WISE TIBETAN MONKEY SAYS
"Study the mice not the Bible to understand much of the world"
If I were God I wouldn't have created humanity.
I just love one mouse out of three. He must be a wise mouse.
Yes, they are like my children in the metaphorical sense. Actually one
escaped in the car and now stinks. He walked out right in my face and
went into a crevice where he died.
The Christians are walking that path of self-destruction without
knowing too. Just like Jim Jones.
You can't leave them alone! One hamster escaped the pet shop box and
died in the car; only one mouse came back out of three when I opened
their cage. Imagine God let Adam & Eve loose in a jungle (or garden)
and the snake came and told them a pretty story.
I'm left with a trusted mouse (Coco) and two hamsters (Cain & Abel)
which I won't let loose for a second. My wisdom and trust are
challenged, but everything will be good for the revolution: Everybody
will be out of the cage, but we must keep an eye on the monkeys.
