Why 'fearing God' is misunderstood

It occurred to me that the reason people are uncomfortable talking about "fearing God" is because we demonize emotions. We talk about anger as if it's all evil, but Jesus "whipped" the merchants at the Temple a new one, and he's without sin. I don't believe he was happy with them when he did that. It's what you do with anger that damages or accomplishes anything. Take fear - I fear the sun and black holes. Neither would I want to get anywhere close to. Are those things inherently evil? No... not any more than a walnut. So why is it wrong to fear God? Why is it wrong to recognize him for who and what he is? If you have fear and loathing, that's wrong. If you have fear and admiration, you've got it.
