Christianity is about love, faith, and redemption. Not fear, fear is the opposite of faith. The whole point of christianity is to remove fear from the equation, even the ultimate fear, fear of death. If you are a parent, would you want to provide a safe space to learn and grow, or to have your kids live in fear of making mistakes. I have counselled many perfectionists, and those who have suffered at the hands of same, over the past few years, and God, being a father, always tells them that it is ok to make mistakes, and not to be afraid. He is big enough to cover us and help us to work through the consequences of our mistakes should they occur. Given that emotional support, it is ok to make mistakes. > > So do not let you fun gets spoiled by this oversimplistic view on the > world. > Agreed one would not want to oversimplify by blaming some "ideology" for all our problems.
