Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

The way the Puritan minister Jonathan Edwards talks about god is really scary. It makes people scared of god because God has the power to kill you at any second. He says many things about the wicked and how if you are wicked God can do anything he wants with you. Like a person is hanging on a thread over hell, and how he has a arrow pointed at you hearty just waiting to be released, how he has a hand covering something that is like water from rushing out and kill you, and also how every time you do something wrong you get heavier and it is God that is holding you up and he can drop you anytime he wants. Basically he is warning people to not do bad things. But I think that is not a good way of convincing people because scaring them is not really letting them decide. They are so scared of God that they think is his really mean. I don't think that God is really that scary and mean also if he is not scary or mean people will have a more relaxed time enjoying life instead of being afraid of doing anything wrong to anger God.
