Might there be a correlation between those who are comfortable with the vision of God as some hyper-judgmental entity constantly extracting harsh judgment and revenge on his creation and the possible similar nature and character of their own real world father?
We know that cultures produce Gods that mirror that same culture but how about on a personal level; do people worship and envision God in a way that may mirror prior and early experiences between child and parent?
I guess you'd have to quantify or ask yourself what qualifies as hyper-judgmentalism.
I think we all have an idea in our mind what an overly judgmental parent acts like, but we may not be at a consensus since its subjective.
I'd also want to clarify what a hyper-judgmental god looks like too so we can establish a baseline.
Then we can segue in to your premise.
