I personally feel to answer questions relating to our relationship with God by pointing out how we deal with our parents is the simplistic Sunday School and Primary approach.

While there are times when I wish I was still accepting of such simple and irrelevant for me, not saying how they should be for others, metaphors.

For instance I can't ask my parents a question and get a absolute answer, I can get their opinion. When they give advice and are wrong, I can tell them so and don't have to make up some reason as to why I asked the wrong question or didn't really hear what I thought they said.
