Since the ';right path'; is so clear...?

...Why do Christians need to use fear to make their kids fellow it?





fire, choking, screaming, crying, anguish, suffering, torture burning and smoke for ever and ever. They even have places to scare kids by putting them in a room and abusing them for half an hour with scary images, sounds and settings, supposedly like whats gonna happen to them if they don't fellow Jesus.





Why use fear, and not logic and reason?Since the ';right path'; is so clear...?
because they cant use logic and reason to back themselves up, so they resort to terrorism.Since the ';right path'; is so clear...?
Religion =/= Logic and reason.
Because ';tis better for a ruler to be feared than loved'; fear of eternal damnation keeps everybody on the ';right path';
Because they're afraid that if they don't scare the Hell out of their kids, they might start using their brains.
The contradictory blend of perfect love and absolute terror seems to have the desired effect.
Its some sort of insecurity, or else they wouldn't need to compete for converts.
You answer your own question in your last sentence.
