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 *** 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 behavi***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 behavi***science centers at Yale and Harvard. With World War
II, Lemov remarks, their denizens traded lab coats for uniforms,
applying behavi***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.
