Ok. Be a baby if it makes you happy. But I enough about Christians to know fear of God is a HUGE part of their relationship to God. Once upon a time, I was even one of the leaders of the campus ministry at my University...led programs and everything.

I'm not insulting you to point out that very basic truth. You can't read the Bible as tell me God doesn't use intimidation and threat of force as primary means of gaining compliance from his flock.

You can play "poor sensitive me" if you want. or you can be honest.

Your choice.
