Have you ever noticed how much of religion is about fear?

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. Too often, the calling-card of most religion is fear? The strange thing is that even the Bible says, “God is love” and “perfect love drives out fear”.

Love is what we’re born with. Fear is what we learn.
