@soul_searchqs: Fear may bring people to God. But can fear keep them there? Or does real faith only begin… when fear no longer has to? Be honest. If there were no heaven to gain and no hell to avoid… would you still believe? . #foryou #philosophy #faith #warofthoughts #deepquestions
Pain, fear and hope brought me to God, but fear of judgement, shame, obligation to love god and critical thinking pushed me away. After I grasped there was no heaven, no hell, no judgement, a huge weight was lifted. Long process to learn to meet myself and love myself, but i feel happier and more grounded than before.

Personally, it's both, 51% fear and 49% faith. I've read the Bible and I can assure you I disagree with many things (about 70%) of it, patriarchy, imaginary enermies and lots of other things that go against humanity. What keeps my faith is, I am but only a human being who has her limitations, there is a superior being who definitely knows about this and knows better than I do, understands better than I do, makes the rules and I follow and that my capacity may be just a very tiny atom of what I can take. I have learnt to let what I don't understand (yet) in His hands, and move with what I understand for now.

I think it's a little subjective topic. I mean look at something, if U get bad grades in school U get scolded so ofc Ur gonna study for it and all and the thing is when U grow up sure no one's gonna scold U but U still study cuz U understood that the importance of studying. U had to have fear because if Ur parents didn't push U for greatness or to chase for it U would be wandering for something else. I like to think religion is the same. as me a Muslim myself, was taught all about it but till I was 8, I questioned it so much like how come we have to fear god and all. then I came to understand when we say "fear god" it's not like being scared of a powerful entity who can definitely plan for events to go wrong for U but instead it's a kind of fear out of love. like love for Ur spouse also relates to fear for Ur spouse for example fear of losing her, fear if U upset her, fear if U break her heart and all.

most of Christians don't know what hell really is, most don't think about hell, what we really think and contemplate is Christ in the cross dying for us that is what converted the world

People don't really love God; they fear him more. They don't serve him as a duty, they do it out of inclinations (compelled to act in a particular way).

Religions preach their God(s) but secretly worship their faith...
We know the name, but not the thing...

I believe God exists because He has come through for me again and again even at times when I feel extremely hopeless

What use is there in grasping for a being so far above us that our minds cannot even frame its nature?

Faith and Fear both asks you to believe in a future you cannot see
