Your son being angry with you for destroying the illusion is precisely the same reaction you have seen from adults in this forum when I puncture their illusions about their theology.

They all pretty much go through the same phases ending with anger and storming off.

No one wants to find out that the world is precisely what it is ... and that it is up to each individual to make good choices. That no one is going to yank them up by their pony tail and reward them for being decent or excuse them for being a little shop of horrors.
