But then, rather unfailry I think, it's impossible for us NOT to do wrong, or so they say. We are supposadly all born with the sin of what two people did who knows how long ago in the Garden.

Fear of the Lord the
is in the Old Testament used as a designation of true piety
(Prov. 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps. 19:9). It is a fear conjoined with
love and hope, and is therefore not a slavish dread, but rather
filial reverence. (Comp. Deut. 32:6; Hos. 11:1; Isa. 1:2; 63:16;
64:8.) God is called "the Fear of Isaac" (Gen. 31:42, 53), i.e.,
the God whom Isaac feared.
A holy fear is enjoined also in the New Testament as a
preventive of carelessness in religion, and as an incentive to
penitence (Matt. 10:28; 2 Cor. 5:11; 7:1; Phil. 2:12; Eph. 5:21;
Heb. 12:28, 29).
The term “fear” is used in various senses in scripture. Fear can mean terror, dread and horror. But it also can mean awe, reverence and respect.

What kind of a father would say to his children....I love you, but if you don't do as I say, I'm going to throw you into everlasting burning punishment....??....That is a human indoctrination...and a tyrannical one at that..In fact, it's less than human....Is god more evil than a human father?
Anyone who doesn't fear God (for whatever reason) is an idiot.

You can both fear AND love God though, as you should.

In my experience if there were an all-powerful monotheistic being it's personality would be that of a sadistic piece of shit that gradually sucks joy out of a human's life until they're dead, granting that person as an infant just enough joy to define from it's oppisite just enough suffering to satisfy itself at the end of that person's life.
