“If fear is the only thing that underpins your morality, it’s a good thing you believe in a vengeful god, else the rest of us would have to invent one for you.”
He is a Vengeful God. He is a Giving God. He is a Compassionate God. He can literally un-do all the wrongs done against you. He can forget ALL of the wrongs done by you. What’s not to like?
Whatever it takes to keep you from killing somebody.
