It seems a lot of people think God is cruel because bad things happen. This isn't the case. Bad things happen because God gives humans one of His greatest gifts; free will and the latitude to use it. This is one of our and His greatest joys because it allows us to serve Him faithfully without coercion.

We wouldn't have man-written bibles if those who wrote them didn't have free will to write things to scare their fellow humans into doing what they wanted them to do.

You don't need the Bible to know that allowing someone to decide to freely associating with you is natural while coercing someone to interact with you is an abomination. One is true, the other is false. A world where no bad happens because God forces everyone to be good would be just as false.

I'm never been interested in any form of fiction to read enough of it to get scared.

Have you ever heard Bill Cosby's Chicken Heart routine. You really should.

You poor wee baby, you are scared into doing things others want you to do? Maybe you should go through puberty and grow up. everything you say or do is because you are scared?
