Repentance: I'm more random than that. I see it as humility and respect which empowers me. It isn't a fearful thing in that I'm scared in any way or that fear of a negative kind motivates me in any way.

"Fear of God" to me is respecting what's right and good and helping yourself.


Why do you need 'fear of god' to respect what's right and good, when everybody knows instinctively what is right and good.
Insecurities, fear of the unknown, wishful thinking, etc. What else drives people to fervently embrace woo-woo?
