Rather than a darling kid giving her dad advice on how to handle the kids - and the fact that he was attentive.

Think. Again.

and is assertive and confident. Her dad seems to respect that and loves her. Aside from your revulsion about what she said, does she not seem okay to you?

I suspect she will grow into an arrogant, pompous, self-rightous and self-deluded young woman who has missed her one chance at fulfilling a truly meaningful, gratifying, and rewarding life while focussing all of her energy and attention on tearing others down in a futile effort to find what the hell went wrong and why she feels so completely out of touch with the true joy she knows instinctually should have been her life.

When she declared that God put here there to make sure her dad did the right thing.
There may be issues with her in the future.

Yes, I was impressed with little girl, apparently very bright and well spoken, who
sticks up to authority when she believes that others are being "oppressed."
I wonder if her sister coached her at all.

... facts to a person is disturbing?

Maybe I'm missing something, her actions seem they should be encouraged not dissuaded

I would guess that she has been coached. Strikes me that she is being manipulated by the parents. At the very least, she is imitating some very judgemental adult behavior.

the more she spoke the more coached or manipulated she sounded. Not only in her words, but facial expressions, and body language.

No, coaching kids for the purpose of using them as a cute little mouthpiece for expressing the adults point of view in a dishonest way can never be a good thing. It is child abuse.

This has nothing to do with religion, other than the fact that many religious people brainwash their children. This would still be creepy as all hell no matter the content the child was coerced into parroting.

Look at that child's facial expression. That is not OK.
