Hello Sam, It is a common thing for people to fear judgment, whether as a child fearing their parents punishment or their disappointment for something they may have done wrong, or with an adult that strays in obedience to the law of the land. Even if they know they have been wrong. What is also common is people as a whole resent authority whether it be the just laws of a government or God's righteous authority. Our nature contains a dislike of anyone telling us what to do. The issue would appear to be misplaced pride such as "I'm o.k. it's the world that's wrong." Indeed the world is wrong but Jesus has overcome it. Should we fear God? The bible, which you refute, states that the very beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. It also states that by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. Such fear is a good thing. I feared my parents judgment and yet I still loved them. I can fear God's judgment and still love Him in the same light. Pride will be the undoing of most who refuse God's gift of salvation through Christ. Mankind's vanity would say we are God. God says "Repent or ye shall likewise perish." May God grant you wisdom, John
