'''God''': [[JerkassHasAPoint You're right]]. And you're right to be mad at him. [[GodIsGood But it's not your job to forgive him]], it's mine... Did you know your grandfather?\\
'''Bob''': What? No. He never talked about him.\\
'''God''': Now ''he'' was a scary guy.\\
'''Bob''': Oh, so that makes it okay for my dad to treat me bad? Feh, liberals.\\
'''God''': No, that's not what I'm saying. Look Bob... okay, picture this long line of fathers and sons stretching from Adam all the way down to Andy. Now, [[SinsOfOurFathers they're all passing down this punch]], [[TheChainOfHarm from one generation to the next, father to son]], and the trick is to pass on a softer punch. Your father passed on a softer punch.
