[quote=Anonymous]Interested to hear how people subconsciously feel about God. Responses from all religions welcome (I'm Hindu). Is your love and devotion to your Higher Power also affected by fear? Examples: - Do you think reverence and moral conduct should be motivated by fear of punishment? - Do you think fear of God and love of God go together? I have personally come to the conclusion that fear of God is extremely toxic. Even if I do wrong, the wrongdoing itself was motivated by my innate fears in the first place, (seriously, Yoda nailed it: "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."), so if my crimes are motivated by my existing fears, then what good does it do to fear God? I believe forgiveness for myself, and unconditionally loving myself, means there is no room to fear God. But I'm open-minded to hearing what other people think.[/quote]
