You don't terrify them. I was raised Catholic and in a Catholic school for 8 years, and was never terrified. I heard the consequences of turning your back on God, and i decided heaven was a place I wanted to be anyway, as looking at all the beautiful things God created for a temporary stay here, I can imagine how good it will be without pain, worries or any diseases forever. The Catholic religion has some problems also, which is why I'm just a Christian. The Pope is a man, just like Buddha, but Jesus was the son of God. You always respect your parents, even if they do stupid things. That doesn't mean you have to emulate those bad things but make better choices for yourself. God made an imperfect world, putting things here that are harmful as a teaching thing, so we can learn how to help others. We aren't supposed to live any longer than 110 years or so anyway, which doesn't compare to forever without those problems earth has. If the earth was perfect, we wouldn't need God. Since he made everything, it's his choice to make the rules. You don't need a religion to do anything, but just a belief in God, and Jesus as your savior. Religions are man made. God isn't. Many scientists believe in God. Some want to try and explain the universe without a creator.
