Yr. Honor,
I honestly don't think that we liberals give much thought to 'fear of God'. I suits the purposes of the 'Christian Right' (CR) to keep repeating that, but telling a lie 1000 times doesn't make it the truth.
Personally, I don't fear God, because I am (pretty) sure that the morality with which I have tried to live my own life will meet with God's approval when the time comes. Oddly enough, I would be surprised if many Militant Christians are so sure.
I am responsible for my own life, and the lives of my children, at least until they're old enough to take up motorcycles. To say that I want to run Your life is silly. OTOH, wouldn't the CR just love to run mine.
