He asks a series of rhetorical questions such as those who are unconverted and do not teach their children of Christ that they too will have to witness the wrath of God.

The findings suggested emotions are rational and purposive rather than irrational and disruptive, emotion are very much like actions, and that we choose an emotion just as we choose a course of action, his notion is that feelings are inessential to emotion since feelings fail to capture the component of emotion.
