Thanks for the kind words. The essence of the Fatima Trads interpretations of God is fear, "Just wait until your heavenly  father gets home!!!!!!" And their prayers substitute "fires of hell," "just punishments," and "seas of flames" for "He'll slap you around" or "He'll get out his belt," or "He'll toss you in molten lava over at the mill. You're warned!"  

And I still say the take-away of an eternal life of pain and suffering is the same of too many abused spouses and children, sadly made to feel unworthy: "He did it because he loved me.  I deserved it. I knew his rules." Psychologists?

Those of us with children we love unconditionally and those of us who had dads who loved us unconditionally have a hard time with a daddy who "keeps score" and knowingly punishes with pain and agony because we were bad, often real bad.

"Be not afraid?" Hell, we SHOULD be afraid of "just punishments" supported by some, many pro-lifers, marching against cruel and inhumane capital punishment.
