Religious teachers so often miss the point of religion and dishonor God by teaching a God who is merciless and calculating and vindictive, which fills people with unbearable guilt that makes them afraid of God. That is not what God wanted. Jesus tried so hard to help people understand that God loves them as they are. He knows they are human. He made them that way and it is human to be weak and imperfect. God did not intend to make humans little gods. He created each individual to do a little job, to make their little contribution to help others and perfect his creation, and gave to each just what he or she needs to do that job. The rest of the personality is imperfect, but thats all right. The person will grow to become, in Gods good time, what He wants that person to become. As long as people love God and care for others, they need never be afraid of meeting God. -Joshua and the Children, Joseph F. Girzone. pg 176.
