Christian answer seems to be...if you can't demonize...trivialize!

or turning tables...I'm a coward somehow...for asking.
BTW, since when is cowering to God the same as cowering from God?

Ooh, that reminds me of "V for Vendetta", when Evey said she'd rather die in prison than do what her jailers wanted, and got released because V was just testing her.
Interesting thought. Probably won't convince Pascal's Wagerers, but it's still interesting.

India had a concentrated to appropriate tournament after Australia's first innings batting,i presumed it replace into reliable first innings from Aussies yet India scored so quickly owing to Dhawan and co and Australia's 2d innings capitulation that handed off so straight away on the final day can't be defined even by skill of Ian Chappell.Batting for India clicked so nicely in this series,that they had a concentrated to appropriate tournament.Australia could desire to've drawn this tournament yet they ended up dropping on the final day owing to a pair poor batting in 2d innings.

There is a difference between respect to your creator and cowering from him. Cowering from God seems to be the forte' of the conservative branches of Christianity, with thero strong emphasis on hell, punishment, and wrath. I like the idea though...as some mentioned, it was like "V for Vendetta".

I am so sad for you. You have no idea what you are missing out on.
To answer your question: Yes I am brave enough to resist denying God. I will never deny God. He is with me always, even to the ends of the world. That is from Matthew 28:20 if you would be interested.
Even though I die, Yet even will I live.
1Corinthians 15:54-58
54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
I have eternal life. You may be able to make me quit breathing here on earth, but you can not kill me.
I hope you find the hope of your salvation.

If playing what if (rather than what is), what if the test (for those who like to be tested) is Revelation and the pass mark 100%. Sadly most highmindead ministers and their Bible College teachers don't make it past the first verse without failing, to notice it's not written by John, rather sent unto John; Nor signed by John, but with the token in every epistle of Paul The Apostle.
What if some doublemindead man like Moses Moses added law worketh wrath to grace is sufficient, and such wrath of high and mighty law became a great terror-ist to all Israel of Jacob/Israel, even to Moses himself exceedingly feared and quaked?
What if being law law is not the solution, but the problem.
What if the end of the mystery is already written.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Revalation 21:8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part {will be} in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Notice the word cowardly. Gods children should be conquerers not cowerers; however, when/if we do cower, He offers us solice.

What if the test is who can eat the most french fries in three minutes or who can play the Star-Spangled Banner on their armpit?
