I think fear is always limiting and it's nonsense to think he'd have created us without "trusting" us, so objectively, nothing has to fear god.
I really think fear of god is a distortion of churches and institutions willing to impose fear in order for people to comply to their demands and values/morality.
Christian God is supposedly omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and the source of good "morality". So there's just no way, he'd create people with the fate of fearing him. It's contradiction.
God seems to believe otherwise, the fear of God is a theme that is repeated in the bible in several places.
Here's a question. If your unsure about God then how can you say your opinion of God is greater than what is written in the bible?
If your picture of God is different than what is in the bible then what makes you think your version is correct?
