LadyDiz: Are you referring to an individualised form of "volksgeist" which describes an underlying consciousness shared by all in a particular community?


If that community is the human race...yes.

wisconsin_guy: Doesnt matter if one is 'religious' or not.. What does matter

is what and who you believe in.. i believe the Bible is the Living

Word of God and in it Jesus talks about hell many times and that

you dont want to go there. Its forever and its suffering.. i would

say Read and Believe in what God has told us in the Bible about

our true state of sin, forgiveness and Jesus the Savior so that

you wont be in doubt about heaven and hell when you die.


These are words to instill fear, fear and faith can never exist together.
Jesus, or whoever wrote those words attributed to him was one of the great masters, a great mystic, fear was not part of his message. His message was about love.

peace

Fear as in reverence. If your son didn't have some fear of you, he would've just walked all over you. I hope with your children you disciplined them for their own sake out of love and wanting to protect them.

The message of God and Jesus is of love. But one still has to know who God is (Holy, righteous and just). He will not be mocked as I'm sure you wouldn't want to be mocked and unappreciated by your own children.

Fear and respect are two different things. The finest parents have children that don't fear them.

A belief is a condition subject to what one human being chooses to believe, or many....

What difference does it make what you believe?
I won't put opinion into it.
Your beliefs, or what you think of me.. are not any of my business.

Be Well. Happy Thanksgiving. =)

Well if I did ever instill fear in them, that would have been my failing. But should they ever have mocked or unappreciated me, I certainly wouldn't have wished eternal suffering upon them.
