Helping Put Things Right
Nov 16, 2017
Creator
A God must be feared.
Now I'm not saying there aren't gentle gods, and benevolent gods, and sweet gods of life and nectar- but no god is only kindness. Maybe a forest spirit can be, or a godling, or some god like creature- but a GOD is something more.
If a god is to be respected, and worshiped, and followed, and *obeyed*, then it must be able to enact punishment.
It's followers must think not only "My god loves me, so I praise it", but also "My god could destroy me, so I serve it."
Now I'm not saying a god has to come down every time and enact judgment- there should be a system in place that does that on behalf of the god.
In fact, a truly powerful god should be able to sit back and watch the whole machine work flawlessly.
Because each part of the machine knows if it was to fail, then it would be removed, and replaced with a part that *does* work.
But Hannah, at the end of the day you are the final word. And love will only go so far- it is fear that makes people truly listen, and obey.
