I hate what fear does to people.
But perfect love is in pursuit and when he overtakes us...fear is displaced. It's such an important part of the truth that Christian religious ideology never helps settle in people's minds so that they can see and know the love of God that has been spread abroad in our hearts. No...the religious system rarely if ever helps us with this. It unfortunately exploits it instead and compounds the problem fear created for us in the first place.

Being a person who had the you know what scared out of me as a kid; by the religious brands of the day. I have grown to have a bit of a hate on for the fear preachers. The cynical part of me sees the fear that religion uses as a not too subtle attempt at controlling the herd. Kind of like the boggieman in the forest from the movie, the village. It doesn't really transform it only contorts, and creates nastiness and outward compliance. But fortunately Love has come to this world and is changing that, and the old constructs are crumbling, hence you get pushbacks.
