Fucking hell, evangelical freaks fear God too?? Is their entire day just fear 24/7? Afraid of gays, afraid of trans, afraid of communism?! afraid of socialism, afraid of Muslims...
What an awful existence...
Yes. Fear is the basis of Christian fundamentalism, and it has become a super convenient way for the Republican party to keep them in line.
When fear is the baseline for your worldview, you see boogeymen around every corner.
I just don't understand how these people are so upset at every single little thing and it's not just upset about it, they think that every thing they don't like is a personal affront to them. Like it's gotta be exhausting to constantly be that upset.
Yes. They also believe that you’re supposed to teach your children to fear you. I’m convinced they believe that fear is the heart of love. They won’t admit that they think fear is a virtue but they do. Because they don’t understand that fear is a tool. You should have fears, they help you make wise decisions, but they need to be based in reality and regularly reexamined. They have little security and comfort and what they do have is couched in fear or conflict.
Like, it’s such a thing in their lives that if I could have my evil leftist re-education camps, they’d just be teaching cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies.
