"Amen" simply means agreement. Religions don't own that word.

at the end of the day, a label will never tell you as much about a person as getting to know them

a label is not truly what or who a person is, that person decides with their actions and words the type of person they wish to be


calling yourself christian while abusing children for example, doesnt make you better or more of an ACTUAL christian than someone who doesnt choose the label but chooses in their actions to take children in


its not about the label, but before we get to know people, labels are the 'cover' of the book that we use to initiate or deter interest


and labels mean different things to the labeler and the interpreter

for me God fearing, is merely an indicator that the person takes God and the bible seriously and respects the guidance and power of God


the label does not make them inherrently good or bad, but if they truly are God fearing in that sense, and their interpretation of Gods guidance is similar to my own,,, its a place to start building a solid and less divided foundation,,,

It makes me laugh to see "god fearing" as a good character quality listed in men's profiles.

Society has been bamboozled into believing that being religious is a good character reference.

It is not.

It makes absolutely no difference in leading to a good character.


"God fearing" is a horrible character quality.

People should be "God loving". There is nothing to "fear" with God. If one loves God, one will obey God. If one obey's God, there would be absolutely nothing to fear, ever.

Satan fears God, he trembles. But that is because he know's what he has done and what is to come. If one loves God and wish companionship with God, there is absolutely nothing to fear.

i think when somebody says iam God fearing, i belive they are telling those that understand the word "God fearing" so that should not your problem,
there are so many verse in the bible that talks on the fear of God.
