Fear of the Lord may be the beginning of wisdom, but it is certainly not the middle or the end.
Just as a small child may at first fear its parents, especially its father, with increasing maturity the child learns that fear is an inappropriate reaction to a loving father.
Individuals, as well as religions, who reverence fear as a motivator disclose their utter immaturity. And any religion that seeks overtly or covertly to influence their membership using fear as a motivator are not worthy of the attention of an intelligent, mature person.
