This is why I contend that the Christian god is a bad creator and tyrant. Rather than change the initial parameters, he creates things that he punishes for acting according to their nature.
It's a highly illogical and immoral system, one of many incoherencies that points to the entire thing being fiction.
But if "God" is understood as the greater good, then the fear of God (fear of isolation) would just be a way of amping up conscience to help the poor sinner stay in the fold .. yada, yada, yada.
Still incredibly inefficient, and backwards thinking. But, you know that, so I'm preaching to the secular choir here.
As a programmer, I just shake my head. Continually patching problems is a surefire sign of bad design.
