Fear is an opponent; an enemy wanting to stop us from enjoying what is rightfully ours.

Fear is a thief; a disgusting con man cheating us out of our rights and duping us into letting him steal from us.

Fear is a weakling acting like a bully, humiliating us. It is low life asking us to strip ourselves of our Christ-bought freedom and dignity. It holds a toy gun to our head and for no rational reason we let it order us around.

Fear is a malicious prankster hoping we will be terrorized by a cardboard cutout.

Fear is a dirty, pesky fly getting in our face, annoying us. It is a filthy liar falsely accusing us, and we not only meekly sit there listening to the slanderous putdowns, we stupidly accept the garbage as truth.

The appropriate response is to rise up in anger and refuse to let fear rob, cheat and bluff us any longer.
