Actually the term is 'the sublime'. It's applied to the feeling of awe people feel when confronted with awesome natural stuff.

You get feelings of fear about people you respect?

Here's your mistake. God is not a person. God is God. More a kin to a force of nature, like lightning/electricity or fire.

Now do you respect lightning or fire? Can you also fear them? Or is it more correct to say that out of a fear for lightning and fire you came to respect them?
