What about those bumper stickers that say "Fear This" and "Ain't Skeered" ...?

Those guys are having the philosophical debate of the century, right?

IM would have killed him already, and none of us (except the hobos) would ever have to be scared.

Or, if you are a Freudian, a penis-shaped hole!

In our vaginas!

Ergo - god = Sex.

I KNEW it!

Today I was told that Jebus and his angels made the snow.
Said child is longing for it.

As am I.
The difference is, I don't see the lack of it as divine neglect.

In my experience, people who grow up on the English spoken version are generally only presented with the verb to "love" God. If anything, it is more often "others" who should fear God, never the believer, which is an unhelpful viewpoint to be sure, but very different from fearing your own God.

Right, if you don't love God then you should be fearing Hell, cuz that's where he will send you.
