It seems like there is a growing movement in "Christianity" to distance themselves from the nurturing, feminine side of God, It makes sense that folks raised to submit to authority would seek out authority in a scarey (to them) free society. Biologically we want survival, reproduction, and a general sense of well-being, this nut gives them all of those things.

Is it just me or does this sound a lot like the recruiting methods of the KKK and the Nazi party?

Ding, ding, ding. That is what Iwas alluding to with the "father-God/Fatherland" question.
