That doesn't make any sense. Why can we love things that we can't prove exist, but we can only fear them if we know they exist? Fear and love are both emotions. There's nothing special about love that transcends existence, and there's nothing special about fear that can only make it apply to real things. Why are kids afraid of the monsters that aren't under their bed?

If God wanted love and not fear, there are better ways to get that. I accomplish that with my children by not threatening them with eternal torture and they totally know I exist.
