The Father / The Mother Dichotomy

God as both The Father and The Mother in this context breeds two different cultures that both challenge and perfect one another. The Father leads to the Conservatives, while The Mother leads to the Liberals. These two groups spawn naturally from the slight differences in how one views God - with the Conservatives being hierarchical and structured, and the Liberals being free and nurturing. 
== The Conservatives: ==
The Conservatives view God as The Father and as such these Theists tend to vote within the Conservative spectrum. They place order, purpose and simplicity of life over other values. Conservatives are best known for their involvement in business and finances, and for their ability to start wars. 
=== Facts: ===
-Conservatives typically have a well established hierarchy in which a single leader sits at the top of a pyramid of authority.
-Conservatives believe that people need to be taught to be good. They see all human governments, no matter the stated agenda or philosophy, as being ultimately corrupted by sin in the end. 
-All authority is ultimately derived from military authority. While might might not make right, it does make the law. Such is the thinking of the Conservatives.
-Stress on hard logic and reason.
-Conservatives believe that man was setup as the overseer of nature and it is his job to tame the Earth.
-The preferred system of economics is capitalism. 
== The Liberals: ==
The Liberals view God as The Mother and as such they usually hail from the Liberal political spectrum. Liberals place inclusion, problem solving and the power of opinion over all others. They are known for working to end societal evils, to grow and nurture the next generation and for enlarging central government to outrageous proportions. 
=== Facts: ===
-Conservatives are big on central government, but not for themselves. They are often more like a rabble, with different interest groups webbed together into a confederate whole. 
-Liberals believe that people are naturally good. Society makes them evil.
-Real authority comes from opinion. The more people who carry that opinion, the more weighty it becomes.
-Stress on instincts and personal feelings.
-Man is to live in harmony with nature.
-The preferred system of economics is socialism (or some variation thereof).
