Boy Dots, those two statments are filled with meaning. I grew up with "Be nice or go to hell" and only later learned "Be nice because God is love and treating others with love is what I'm called to do."

I once had a friend who said his child rearing technique consisted of "A threat quickly followed by a bribe." Seems that is God's technique too. We are threatened with hell and bribed with love.

Choosing is a no brainer.
