What could please so much to a fair God in Human fear, if it turns them idiots? How can you feel satisfied, admired by idiots if you're not an idiot yourself? I think fear is an human emotion (not a thought) used by politicians that need people to turn slaves and slaves does not deserve more than an idiotic God.
I think it's a cycle. The God that people of a religious denomination need, they get from the tradition of their religion. First of all they have to acquire this God. It may be that some of the believers realize that this God is the product of a human need to communicate with a higher power, to confide in it to have a safe life and to cope with the uncertain future. "By definition, "God" cannot be made available by humans. He is God. But the critics are rather exceptions. However, man is the measure of all things in the human world. So the assumption that something comes from God that comes from man can still serve as a means of good and morally valuable living.

Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a specific stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to body or life. The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response or paralysis.

I want to add that fear and magnificent blessings of Allah Almighty can be means of warning and calling us.
Do you really think that God have nothing more to do than playing with our imaginations? maybe it's His favorite comic movie but it can't be His main concern.
I think the spiritual idea of a higher power is an important factor of many people. So it's the same if we think this power outside of our live or as part of our life. And, indeed, in some spiritual moments we are "playing" or reflecting imaginations concerning God's doing or behavior, that's typical, wonderful, and quite normal, I think.
My dear Fred Romano ...
God doesn't create fear into us to play with our imaginations. I think that God wants to tell us that you have to be careful of your actions Because one day, you will come back to me.
By the word Fear, I don't mean the fear of mundane actions, but i mean the fear of existence, and of what God means us to be....
This is my personal opinion ..... Thank you too much for your nice opinion .. Fred Romano
In such important discussions it seems to me typically that we are ready to say "I think" or "In my opinion..." That shows us: this is a discussion of human beings.
Fear of what God means us to be? What if, as any parent, God means us to be heroes? It's always sensible to overcome your parent's ambitions. Anyhow, thanks fr your kind response even if we don't correspond in everything.
You are totally right Dr. Hein Retter . Thanks for your opinion Hein Retter
Thanks for your time and opinion Dear Ms Fred Romano Fred Romano
1. 'Fear'
2. 'Consciousness'
3. 'Conscience'
4. 'Belief'
5. 'Spirituality'
All 'Five' Protect individual from unforeseen 'Danger'
One can look at it as a warning from God or a physiological body response to danger. In either case it serves a purpose as a warning sysem and for us to be careful, vigilant and to take necessary action
Our mind is very sensitive & very often fear & phobia enter in our mind . In such cases initially it starts with our introspection & also concentration this may subsequent divert our mind to certain hidden message which may help thru our conscious mind to understand the basic elements of Fear or phobia .
With this in our silent mind certain ray of hope enter & transform our mind to God & to understand & also for realization we may take recourse to power of prayer ,& meditation which may certainly help us to think in our right manner .
This is my personal opinion
yes, I think fear is built into us as a means for God to warn and call us
