Fear of God


I came across an article about Kuran. To start with I really don't know much about this religion - Islam. However, if what is said in this website is right, then I shall surely not believe it to be God's words.

From Surah 16, "The Bee" He sends down the angels with the Spirit at His bidding to one of His servants in order to say, 'Give warning that there is no god but Me; therefore, fear only Me.'

I am fine with anything which says, God created, protects and...blah blah....(I am not making fun). But I am not sure about the fear for God. How can even God ask me to fear him. It is beyond my rational. I see no sense in that. To me God is love, whatever I do, God loves me. I shall never ever fear God, because I love him so much. To me when somebody says a book is the word of God and here it is said to fear God (as per God's words), I can't accept that. I find this notion disturbing. Further disturbing is the fact that such utterances are not uncommon elsewhere. I think it is said in christianity, hinduism, and probably in jewism and other religions I may not know. Not having fear does not mean having disrespect for God, to me it is rather having more faith and love for God. So infact my conclusion that all world religions are man-made, thought and written down by men, laying down rules according to the requirement of the culture they were in, makes more sense to me. There is no such thing as a perfect book and there is no book that is absolute. That is my conclusion (after all this, whether somebody believes or not, I am not an atheist).
