How is it distorted? You give a list of rules and then tell what will happen if you don't follow them. God also teaches us to fear him, and know his wrath if we do not obey his laws. It's not very different from a modern court. He loves us dearly, but is still a judge who must punish wrongdoing.

    That's imposing fear. How is that, in and of itself, moral? If someone can't tell the difference between right and wrong, they lack empathy. Not fear of something. If they are acting out of fear of personal punishment, that's a pretty selfish reason to do the right thing. Do the right thing because it's considerate(empathy). Not because you're worried about punishment. If that's the main thing keeping someone from doing what's wrong, I seriously question how good of s person they are to begin with.
