Fear is a driver. Has been for a long long time. But when some of us tried to make this case -specifically that the people in our circles were being drive more by fear than love, more by personal comfort than love of neighbor- we were accused of deflecting the Real Threats and acting like wolves in their midsts for some other Agenda, also driven by some other fears and/or hatred and bitterness in our hearts. We watched our entire careers and ministries burn from within as the DARVO type maneuvers turned into frenzied mobs and cries of heresies of CRT and Marxism and social justice.
