It isn't polite to say so, but humans are better parents than god. Our children are our sun and our moon. We can't harm a hair on their head. But as our father and holy spirit, god doesn't spare us anything. We live on His watch, and we die on His watch.

Christianity, Islam and Judaism are lumped together as Abrahamic religions because they share a birth father, Abraham. He is most well-known for being on the cusp of slaughtering his son, in an attempt to earn god's favour. But when he draws his blade out, god steps in and shuts it down. It's a telling fable, in which god provokes man to be like Him, and man relents.
