Why do people worship their favorite imaginary deity out of fear?

The Bible has lots of stories where people were forced to worship the God character out of fear. They were frightened that he would kill them if they didn't comply with his demands to be worshiped. He did kill hordes of people who rejected his demands and he is always threatening to kill all of humanity unless people cater to his every whim.

Are you fearful of incurring his wrath?

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, faith or no faith. I do often find it strange those who write about a religon will often quote from a holy book or text such as from the Bible and use it as a truth, but then claim they do not believe in it. Christianity uses the New Testament a lot , but some evangelicals though concentrate on the Old Testament when the New Testament doesn't fit in with their agenda, they prefer Hellfire and much damnation. What a funny old world we live in? Live and let live is my own mantra

@Dez580 People who disagree with the Bible will quote from it to show how absurd it is. It is evidence.
