    I do fear God in the sense that I don't want to do anything through my actions or speech to hurt him. I am not afraid him. I have a healthy loving parent to child relationship with him that I cherish very much.

    The fear of a God, is due to a religious indoctrination. That puts fear of demons and hellfire in children's minds at an early age, that stays with them through their adulthood. A fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. It's the result of not being educated properly.

    Proverbs 8:13 says The fear of Jehovah means the hating of bad. It's not telling us to be scared of God, but to hate displeasing him. We can build a great relationship with God if we learn ther proper way to fear him.

    I stopped being afraid of "God" when I grew up.

    A deity that demands you respect and worship him out of fear that he'll destroy you if you don't is a TYRANT. No thank you.
