For instance in every country in the world there are different laws and rules. So what may be illegal in the U.S. may not be in Mexico vice versa. And for those who are stuck under a dictatorship. Do they allow themselfs to be? So answer me this. Why are so many people god fearing? All the religous people are gonna come out and say stuff like god gave us the 10 comandments. Well only if you believe in faith that is the case otherwise god didn't man created the comandments. what are your views? I'm just trying to figure out why people are god fearing? Why should you be afraid of your creator? He loved you enough to bring you hear?

Human beings believe in religion and other things for one very simple reason: we were taught so. Humans don't have a "fixed" nature, as other inferior animals, we rather build our own personality and life. But we do inherit some things that we learn from our parents ans society. Nevertheless, we can go against the status quo, and even perhaps create new beliefs for the World to follow.

If you search strictly you will find that very few people fear god.The majority put up a show of fearing god so thet they will have a good reputation in the society.
An honest and sincere devotee of God is never afraid of any thing. God is kindness incarnate.
Church and other religious organiztions are human creations. The people at the helm of affairs in these organisations are very powerful. Though many of them pose to be religious yet they are not so.(read George elliots silas marner).
You know that people normally do not speak the truth. God is the truth. Think how can you call people who do not hesitate to tell lies as God fearing?

God fearing is not a cringing fear. It is a deep reverence and respect for our Creator. It's similar to a healthy and functional parent-child relationship. The child has respect for the parent's authority in their life and loves them because of it and because they know their parent loves them. It has nothing to do with the Ten Commandments. And it's not about religion either, it's about a relationship with your Creator. I hope this helps you.

You should have a healthy fear of God. I fear a power that could throw me into eternal damnnation.Proverbs says, let all the Earth fear the Lord.

same reason people are afraid of ghosts. they both come from our figment of imagination and human imagination power can reach very far. Freidrich Nietzsche said once "God is dead". "God is dead" is not meant literally, as in "God is now physically dead"; rather, it is Nietzsche's way of saying that the idea of God is no longer capable of acting as a source of any moral code or teleology
