As far as the Bible being based on fear; yep, it is. If one doesn't believe in God what's the problem? However, if one does, then there is a lot to fear from God. The first book, is Genesis; all about how God created everything. One can debate whether he really did it in seven days, or through evolution, and that includes man. So, God is the creator, and we are the created. That's a very substantial power differential, and we are on the short end of that stick. But, once again, if one doesn't believe in God it's a mute issue. If one does, s/he he takes the Old Testament God quite seriously, thought the New Testament God, through Jesus Christ gives us a much more manageable means to live in the Spirit of God. And, even then not all believers do so, nor do they know for certain if they are doing so. Many think they'll get into heaven, and many who look at their lives, and have doubts, will make it. Once again; a mystery of faith.
P.S. Talking about having faith in one's propeller, it's even more so when talking about your rotors. Helicopter fall like a stone where as, at least you can usually glide to a landing in an airplane.
