why do we fear God?

Re: why do we fear God?

Peace worshipyourself

Hence the name you have chosen for yourself. I can't agree with it. I don't refrain from calling you it out of jest. I just don't think any human deserves worship and you are ready to be worshipped .... You qualify by doing what you expect others to do ... you worship yourself ... and that is what you have done with regards to your ...'He doesn't exist' remark.

We have it in us to worship ... if God didn't exist according to our beliefs then we would place that capacity to worship in other things ... some people money, women, fame or whatever they want ... i.e. themselves. I can worship so I do therefore it must have purpose and that purpose must befit the act. I don't deserve worship so it must be for God ...

Why do we fear God? ... well we don't if we don't believe in God, but when we realise that we ought to fear God then we learn about God and the more we find out the more awe we get and the ultimate form of awe is fear. It is not the fear that one gets from a tyrrant.
