Some of the comments in the video are just as ridiculous.

No, the discerning listener doesn’t focus on what you call “fear”. The discerning listener hears that there is hope in Christ Jesus our Savior. Over half of the message speaks of this Hope. Listen again with an open mind to the Lord our God.

May the Lord richly bless you.

Nope, that is just blatant in your face SELLING FEAR to the sheep. The only hold that religion has on the delusional is fear, and the level of fear must be maintained or the hold looses its grip.

George Bush developed the "fear meter", a color coded how scared we should be chart, in an effort to keep the masses quaking in their basements with plastic wrap and duct tape. The fear monger even tryied to raise the fear level simply to sway election results, a pimp pushing fear, nothing more. The pathetic little pimp in the video is doing the same, there ain't a bit of love or hope in this sick little twerps being, it all about the fear, along with some greed I'm sure. Fear is powerless without the marketing of the fear, and it is always so irrational.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

Actually this guy is spreading a virus. It's a virus I often see spread by the news media, and some politicians, but the main "typhoid Marys" in the US are evangelical Christian Ministers. They use it to keep their flock under control and keep the cash flowing their way. Irrational fear is only the symptom of this cultural malady....The virus is called paranoia. It is a harmful societal infection, and so far I see no cure except to not accept statements at face value and learn to think for yourself....Not everyone is infected, but those that are tend to spread this disease.

When looked at a little deeper, it is a symptom of a cultish behavior. The deep seated fear that the satan-led big, bad, evil world out there is out to get them.
