Fear 1.


Fear causes some people to react aggressively.

It is the fight or flight reaction to fear.

And this was evident in the AIDS crisis.

Some people reacted violently.

They attacked gay people and blamed them for AIDS and in some cases for all the world's ills.

This is scapegoating.

And we have seen it in Australia with Israel Folau's claim that gay people will go to hell.

His fear of immorality and disease is too great for him.

And this fear is the basis of right-wing religious objections to homosexuality.

But God is Love.

And His Love will prevail in the end.
