Years ago, I stumbled across a quote I’ve never been able to forget: “Sociologists say it is common for people to perceive that God is like their fathers or fatherly figures in their lives.”

If your father was silent, absent, angry, prideful, abusive, etc., you could believe God was that way, too.
