I mean, it's totally different from a parent-child relationship here. You say it's on the same level, how? My mom and dad aren't capable of creating anything they want nor do they encompass the ability to do whatever they want when they want due to human limitations. God is supposed to have no limitations, nor wants, needs, or desires, because God is everything, which renders the idea of needing kids to nurture and love superfluous.
Parents, humans if you will, are ingrained with the need and want to reproduce, which creates children. Also, parents don't enforce such 'absolute' rules with their children. They may say, 'hey, if you kill someone, society will put you in prison for life, but I'll still love you because you're my son"
God's punishment is like 'hey, you messed up because you didn't believe in me, but I knew that already since I know what you'll do before you do what you do, so you're going to hell to suffer forever and I'm not looking back at you ever'
WHAT?
