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"

One of my mice escaped without a reason. He just walked out on me and
is hiding.
If I were God I wouldn't have created humanity.
I just love one mouse out of three. He must be a wise mouse.

The three mice have come and gone, and I'm waiting until all rascals
get together to shut the cage.
They seem to have a mind of their own (predictably like humans), but
my "Coco" is the good girl. I may decide to expel the other two from
Tibetan Monkey Paradise. They even attack Coco.
You can't trust everybody in the jungle!

Yes, your explanation is very rational, and yet human history is full
of irrationality, perhaps 90% of it. ;)
It would have been irrational that Hitler took on both America and
Russia, and yet his ego was bigger than his intellect --and so that of
the German people. I don't see China trying to conquer the world --
yet-- but if you nuke N Korea, millions of Chinese may be affected by
it, and that's hard to hide under a rug.
Human brain is no better than mice' brain. Three escaped and one acted
in a rational way coming back to the cage for food and water. The rest
went underground and damaged my property, one I found dead, and the
other I caught with a glue trap.
I love my smart mouse now. ;)
