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 ills of the world.
This is scapegoating.
And we have seen it in Australia with Israel Folau's claim that legalizing same-sex marriage is the cause of the bushfires we are experiencing.
His fear of immorality and hell is too great for him.
And this is the basis of right-wing religious objections to homosexuality.
But God is Love.
And His Love will prevail in the end.
