Do we need to fear God?

[ding]

Actually the viewpoint of " human " beings is beguiled. The answer is yes and no. And if I attempt to explain it in any detail you will no doubt condemn the knowledge as not reliable. The primitive defense mechanism automatically kicks in.

That’s just a chicken shit way of not having to actually state what you believe because it’s nonsense. You are a slippery fucker. What’s wrong? Can’t keep your lies straight?

I know, isn't that sick ! And I don't mean that in a good way.

So, is the Bible a myth and full of lies, or is it true? It HAS to be one or the other. You can't straddle the fence on this

The Old Testament is largely a history ( greatly embellished ) of the Hebrews seen through religious eyes, thus tainted. The New Testament was suppose to be about the life of Jesus Christ and the philosophy he preached but since common men, not even well-educated men, wrote it instead of Christ they fell back on Old Testament beliefs which distorted Christ's real message. There is no black and white in a contaminated storyline.

We are to obey in order to be rewarded.

Like rats in a maze.

God is universal, not tribal.

I had the impression it chose a people.

Did you obey you parents or the police if pulled over? We are all just simple humans trying to find peace.

 

[Leo123]

If one doesn't fear God they one doesn't feel the need to obey His commandments. I think that is what the statement means.

You know this how, Vladimir?

Which was what?

Organized religion is in direct conflict with modern society.

If you live in China or N Korea maybe.

You know better, look at the conflicts about gay rights and abortion. None of that would exist if religious organizations didn't exist. They're ve held back human progress and freedoms in those areas for years. An absolute disgrace.

Then stop creating hell for the rest of us.

Who is creating hell for you? Those are strong words.

Why fear?

For me is love.

Do we need to fear God?​

Attempting to put your values and people you do not value on a public law form is egregious at best. You religious beliefs are protected by law but not to alter the laws with your religious beliefs.

Fear is a big factor in man-made judgemental tribal religions. The tribe of Abraham is particularly notorious for it.

I don't fear The Supreme Power, I love.
