“Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.” Aquinas
“"Fear not!" said the angel.” Luke 2:10
And the number one bible verse disregarded by literalist Christians everywhere:
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
Most “Christians” foster fear.
