I don't remember saying God wants to be feared.

Then why do you fear him, if he doesn't want you to?

It doesn't make any sense to me.

I thought you were supposed to love him.

Can you love out of fear?

I don't know about God but when I was a little kid I kind of felt that way about my Dad. Not terror but a respect that was a bit of fear.

I admire your intelligence my second amendment brother, but I'm amazed that someone as intelligent as yourself hasn't figured out that God can't be figured out (or out figured).

When you look at an ant, do you expect it to know why you're about to step on him? Why then wouldn't you apply that same painfully blatant logic to the creator (from whence our unalienable derive) of the entire universe?

I could go pious on you and argue your points with scripture, but I'm not gonna go there. As Rumsfeld said; "I'm plucky but not stupid".
