Revelation: The boss of bosses

“I think,” he said, “I have figured out American Protestants, and Southern white evangelicals in particular. They have a particular idea of God which is quite curious but easy to understand with a moment's thought. They think that God is a big boss with a big stick whom you had better obey. In other words, 

— they think that God is a slave master."

”And they would prove this, I suppose, by showing that this boss really is boss of it all. And console each other by wishing, ‘may the force be with you’.”
