god the father, n.All

God the Father (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠called He because "It" sounds too impersonal and "She," of course, would be inferior.

God the Father (n.) made ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠absolute drains all value to the other side and leaves here only a miserable, sinful little heap of humanity.

God the Father (n.) as ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a father-god born of repression is a self-deceiving manoeuvre for juggling a real difficulty out of existence; born spontaneously, it is as natural as a birth.

God the Father (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠become a ridiculous image, yet say "Our Father who art in heaven" day after day and it gets you: an idealized father, loving but stern, other than yourself.

God the Father (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a sublimation from barbaric origins: he stood to the world as early Egyptian or Mesopotamian kings stood to their subjects — with a similar moral character.
