You have have put your finger on the very important difference between belief in God on the one hand and belief in belief (which is really belief in a group of people) on the other.<br /><br />However, it is possible to love God without going to church or otherwise associating with "the people of God." It is possible - and desirable - to have genuine faith in God. And it does not require a fear of hellish afterlife to do so, for everyone is going to heaven. It does, however, require a person to have a genuine fear of God and not the fear of man that passes for the fear of God (i.e. religion).Mike Gantthttp://blogforthelordjesuscurrentevents.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
