Fear is a great motivator - in fact people will do more to avid pain than to gain pleasure...and the early churches (most religions) knew this. So, they used fear as a way of getting people to follow what they told them to do.

A perfect moderrn example is with the 'War On Terror" - by putting the fear of god into people they can get enough people to support the 'cause' - sounds a bit like The Cruisades to me...

I believe with all that is me in a God that is ALL love, peace and harmony. Anything that contridcts this does and anything that does not match...I choose to not have part of.
