I wonder if the TBM parents think this will score them more points with Mormon God.
Nothing to do with God. This is about the Church's desire for money.

Periodically, when family members go a bit wayward or lax, I, as patriarch of the family, will sit them down and have them watch (and rewatch) this timeless LDS Philanthropies video: Journey to Become. It works every time. My love for my family members is perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, but, like God’s love, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional. (Of course, the more righteous parts of my family are not exactly happy to lose claim to greater shares of the total family inheritance when less righteous members shape up, but that’s another matter.)
Brilliant. I reject this approach to Christianity completely.

Maybe reducing God to the frame of a man shrinks love in equal measure?

Is there any reason the Mormon God should have the same capacity for love as the Unitarian God?
