The following is from today's Wall Street Journal which quotes Time Magazine's report that a notable person, the former Congressional House Leader Tom Delay, thinks God ought to be feared. To this forum, I present it not for political discussion on the separation of church and state but to pose the question, "Should God Be Feared?"
I say not. I know of nothing about the universal power, or God as it is commonly called, that requires it to be feared.

DeLay's Departure

[Re:]Tom DeLay's resignation...
Mr. DeLay said he would dedicate his free time to promoting conservative causes, including the end of abortion "as we know it," the replacement of the tax code with a national sales tax and closer ties between church and state. "People that go to church understand that a country has to be based on some sort of religion and fear of God," he told Time Magazine.
