Father and Executioner

(12)

Based on that categorization I think that we can roughly outline the 'God Styles' of the three categories. These 'God Styles' are very general, of course, and can be further broken down. In fact (and theory) these 'styles' could be broken down indefinitely to the point of individuality. I will now undertake to define the general 'God Style' of each group.

First, of course, must come the 'GS of the Majority.' (This is not to be confused with the 'BS of the Majority' or the 'Tyranny of the Majority.)

The God of the Majority resembles a conflicted ruler. He is both Father and Executioner. On the one hand He is 'merciful' and on the other hand He is 'just.' This God would as soon present you with eternal peace as with eternal torment. This God is without conscience. This God is the perfect representative of what I call, 'carrot and stick religion.'
