You brought it up BROTHA... "'Fear' of god? how very old-testament.

dude, when someone can comfortably dismiss one of the more profound idioms in psychology he really does not know what he is talking about, intellectually or educationally.
The meaning of the quote is one of the most discussed in the world of child psychology, It is highly complex in its implication, only appearing simple in its expression and its truth.

Actually Skinner's work has a profound impact. Jung was more theist with collective subconscious. Every time I see a parent fail miserable at being one it for failure to grasp the basics of behavior. You hit the kid for screaming about the cookie but then buy him the cookie at check out. Of course the kid will scream next time he wants a cookie you just reinforced the behavior.
With or without booty swats, each child's disciplinary toolS need to be appropriate for the individual and any possible issues. Positive reinforcement is an important part of any training.
