God delivered the 10 Commandments in a terrifying display of power and intimidation. The fear of God isn't only the beginning of wisdom but also keeps people from sinning. God wants the Israelites to know that he had rescued them; he also wants them to know that he isn't some sort of domesticated deity happily dispensing blessings like Oprah. He isn't only a good God, but terrifying and awesome.
God is who He says He is, not what we think He is. The common belief in spirituality over religion is in its essence stating that you are your own God. God has given out His standards of what someone who loves Him behaves like.
