[quote:Anonymous Coward 637199:MV83NTk4MjVfMTE2NjkzMTBfNzg5RUE3NjE=] [quote:Sombra] Actually....the word fear was changed from the true meaning of "reverence, or awe". We shouldn't ever fear "God"....only be awed by the awesomeness of it all. [color=red][b]I have to disagree! Satan didn't kill a single person in the bible but god kills millions! Be afraid, Be very afraid![/b][/color] The existence of satan is another thing that makes no sense to me. Mainly because if god created the universe and all that is in it, why would god create a nemisis, unless it was bored and wanted someone to play with. Have you read the book [u]Job: A Comedy of Justice [/u]by Robert Heinlein? I think you would enjoy it. [/quote] Isaiah 45:7 (King James Version) 7I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Wow, this deity is awesome, as far as fictional deities go, which isn't very far at all. Fearing your creator is an insult to the intellect, which is why I consider fear-based religions as another form of mind-control. [/quote]
Original Message
What does that mean? Is it literal or figurative, does it have some obtuse meaning that has nothing to do with fear?
Thanks.
